Well in 16 days, two bad things have happened, still waiting on an update on the car........ was really hoping to hear today :(.
Second thing, went and got my ultrasound today and I dont have a cyst after all, (I wish I did as the alternative is worse), but I have a snapped tendon on my middle finger to the wrist area. What was suppose to a 5 to 10 minute ultrasound, ended up being over 30 minutes, as they discovered there was no cyst, but a snapped tendon.
Tomorrow I go to the GP where a referral will be done to see the orthopaedics, though it looks like surgery is the only option, with a recovery time of 12 + weeks, including 6 - 8 weeks in a splint. Just when the nails are getting busy...
They think one of the screws (from my wrist surgery 7 years ago) was rubbing against the tendon, weakening it, and when I was at the gym 6 weeks ago and doing weights it snapped. It hurt like buggery and I have a good pain tolerance, but thought it would heal itself over time, but it kept getting worse.
So far I am not enjoying 2019....
I feel pissed off right now.....
Join me on my journey to getting healthier and stronger. in mid 2019, I had surgery on ruptured tendons and to remove the plate and screws in my wrist, which irritated the tendons and caused them to rupture. Join me as I get my fitness back and also start back at doing lower carb way of life :)
Bugger. At least it's fixable even if not a quick fix :)
ReplyDeleteHoping so, as it has been 6 weeks, it has done quite a bit of damage (as in the tendons were fraying,), thats how she explained it to me. They may have to put a pin in to connect it, and may not ever get full use of my hand again, especially the middle finger.
ReplyDeleteGee I hope that is not the case Jax, fingers crossed they won’t need to pin it !!
