The past three weeks I have had a burning sensation in my left hand from my wrist to my little finger.
Initially, I thought it was the oven cleaner I used as I didn't use a glove when I cleaned it. When the pain remained I was concerned it might be something more serious, like carpel tunnel.
Yesterday, I went to the doctors who ruled out carpel tunnel as well as MS and told me to come back if it was worse and I might have to undergo nerve testing.
Today I visited the physio to check up on progress regarding my lower back.
My lower back appears fine but my shoulders, neck and collar bone area was extremely tight.
I was put on this heavy massager which vibrated through my whole body.
Afterwards I was very hot! Apparently my back was quite red too, which apparently is good!
During my talk with Sharon, the physio, i mentioned my hand and she said hang on.
She did a few things to my back and made be hold behind my neck, she stretched my back and I heard a very loud pop!
My back felt great and the pain in my hand was barely there.
I was so relieved. While I was having acupuncture I was still amazed as to the relief I felt in my hand.
It is not my sewing hand it is my hand that holds everything and I was rather concerned that I may have to stop sewing. ( I should give it a rest so I can work on my assignment).
All is good and I just have a very dull ache in my hand, a very sore back which still feels very hot!
I am one very happy lady.
So pleased for you Simone that the pain has gone - sewing probably isn't helping your upper back area either but it sounds as if your physio is on top of it. I suffer from upper back pain and I empathise with you. Hope it all turns for the better for you.
ReplyDeleteglad it has all ended well ,boy it sounds like you have a few problems there with your back,take care Simone.xx
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news Simone... if having a dull ache is good..lol... but better than the alternative.

Oh you must be so relieved, there are so many possibilities to scare yourself with! At least it is good weather for your body to be a bit more hot :)
