I hurt my wrist…
Okay, before we go any further, please get all the masturbation jokes out of your system now.
We good now? Cool.
Actually, I hurt my thumb. I think I did it golfing. Or maybe hitting golf balls at the range. But it may have been injured during our trip to Myrtle Beach. I remember mentioning to Adam2 that I did something to my thumb and that my hand hurt (probably one of the multiple times that I hit the ground like six inches before the ball). The pain has not been all that bad or anything, until two days ago.
It went to my wrist and it felt like intense stabs of pain up my forearm from the wrist & thumb. I have a fairly high tolerance for pain. Not trying to sound tough or anything. Actually, that high tolerance is probably not good. I am more likely to not notice or ignore something that could actually be serious. Lindsey will go see a doctor if she feels the least bit uncomfortable about anything. I mention the tolerance because I definitely felt like I was close to crying a few times on Thursday night because it hurt so bad.
Most people seem to think it could be carpal tunnel syndrome. I am not a doctor, so I will not speculate. I decided to stop after work yesterday and buy a compression wrist wrap. I wore it all night and then all day today. It definitely seemed to help. My wrist hurts less and last night I was able to sleep better. The other night I kept waking up in pain. I was very grumpy on Friday at work. I will continue to wear it for a few days and hopefully it will heal up on its own. If not, I will suck it up and make an appointment with my doctor.
The joys of aging.
