well, maybe not so much. ever since  the accident half of my right hand has been numb. it has gotten a little better over the last 14 weeks. it is now down to everything in line with the pinkie is numb. but lately has been making a transition to pain and soreness in the last 2 fingers and the side of my hand. we have tried mega doses of anti inflammatory meds and steroid injections to no avail. so next thursday is the day  i'm goin under the knife again.  due to insurance concerns and company absence policies, i have to have this taken care of before i return to work. so i'm looking at another 3 weeks on the shelf and i'll be ready to rock.  |

Good luck! Is it the fractured wrist? The symptoms would suggest a herniated cervical disk, with nerve impingement. Most likely (with those 2 fingers) at the c6-7, or c7-t1 level.  Have you had that checked? |

Mad Well wishing Mojo going out to you. Surgery sucks, but hopefully they will be able to seal the deal for you this time around.
Get well soon.

The Bandon Chronicles: Transcripts from the room. Normally a quick read, but the pages do tend to stick together after a time. Heal quick, AM! |

Get well soon. And I hope this doesn't affect your golf game! that is the great unknown at the present time. not so much from the elbow, but the fact of having a broken wrist and broken ankle. the doc says my wrist and ankle with be sore for several more months. so we will have to see how that works out. it brings a whole new meaning to a stinger from layin the sod over. i'm really itchin to hit some balls.  |
