Ok, here goes :) I'm 33, I live in Michigan. I fractured both wrists when I was 10, both bones in right wrist, one bone in left. Had arthritis 45 days after I fractured them. Now that I'm in my early 30's, I'm having a heck of a time, the weather is KILLING my hands most particularly the right one. My husband and I are both unemployed and looking and right now on only my unemployment so there is no extra money to purchase the Herbalife Joint Support I usually take for my hands. I was using the MS Cee Muscle/Sports Rub, I can't find a distributor for it now and the jar's nearly gone ((( I LOVE to read but holding the book is killing my hand. I did get the EMG nerve testing done years ago and at that time they "claimed" that I had a MILD case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome although they didn't COMPLETE the test because I was crying my eyes out because it hurt like *ell and the doc gave me tranquilizers to take prior to the test but it's GONNA hurt when someone's sticking a tiny needle into your muscles, if you get my drift :)
I've tried heating pads, ice packs and that putty they use to strengthen the muscles in your hand, doesn't do much good. I know once the weather clears up around here it won't be as bad but until then it's really hard to just sit around and watch TV all day we don't have cable because we cannot afford it..big sigh..
Any suggestions???????
