It has been long time since I wrote about my wrists. It is coming again and again. The pain comes and goes but never completely away. And I cannot do anything about it. I have tried painkillers, warm, cold, exercises. And nothing really helps. Time to time I can ease the process of pain itself but without drugs, which I personally take as a huge success.
I need my wrist orthoses. I have different types. One what I use mostly outside is letting my fingers free and my thumb is fixed, the second which I used mostly at home and my fingers are fixed and thumb is free. I would need some kind of combination if them. The most relaxing and mostly helping is the funny looking orthoses which was shaped on my hand. I cannot use the hand at all, but it really help to relief from the pain. That one I have only for the left wrist but I could get it also for the right hand. But I didn't want to have it. On one hand it is really helping but on the other hand it reminds me the pain and that I will never get rid off it. I will have to fight with it until the end of my life.
Sometimes I cannot almost use my hand due to the pain or how stiff it is. Everything is falling from my hands. It is really depressing and frustrating situation. Not only living with the chronic pain, which drives you crazy, but also that you can use the hand. Sometimes I think that I would be almost happy not to have that hand. At least I would get rid off the pain. You cannot imagine that, only if you experience it. Sometimes me wrist and fingers feel numb. The keep the blood circulation I am wearing the funny gloves shown on the bottom. They as compressing and helping the blood to get to the tips of my fingers. Pretty good trick if you fight with Raynaud's syndrome. I can highly recommend that. It helped me so much, that I had only one week episode of white finger for the last year and it happened during summer in 40 degrees temperature. Just for the example that it can happened any time. I was swimming in quite cold water. So be careful! I didn't realize that.
I use wrist orthoses when I am really aching. I do not like them. Even they really helps I do not like them to use them on public, but painkillers do not help. I do not like how unhandy I am and how people are starring. I would like to be rather invisible.
In very, very low temperatures it is needed to use warming gloves on batteries. They do not look pretty, but I have seen them already ones in the bus and I felt awesome. I am not the only one. They are very large even I have the small size. But they work so what to solve. Since that I am not having white fingers anymore, called Raynaud's phenomenon. Yay, I am so happy. The most important thing is to keep control, which is difficult but doable. In worse case I have to put a lot of cream and cotton gloves for the night but I personally hate it. But all those things are better then to solve the bleeding tips. They incredibly hurt and you use them all the time. It can lead to ulcers. I am using latex wraps to protect my skin from worse harming. I have chosen purple color from the huge collection in the pharmacy. If you cannot hide it, elevated to the new level :-).
Enjoy the day!! Have a nice day!!
