Title: Cortisone?
Post by: ~flower~ on October 23, 2006, 08:45:46 AM: I go see a hand specialist thursday about my sprained finger. I don't know if she will recommend cortisone in it to free the joint, but I have mixed feelings about that. I've had cortisone in both wrists and IMO it made them even worse.

It will be 19 weeks on the 28th since I injured it. Still hurts, swollen and about 1/2 the range of motion, hurts to bend it or to fully straighten it.

If it still hurts after that long eiher it's an occult(unseen) fracture or a torm ligament, either way cortisone won't help.

The F.U.D is that it will be about another 6mos of healing time. It will always be slightly swollen, and I should force it to bend. And it will always hurt in the cold, and I will probably have arthritis in it. I already have the wrists of an 80 year old, so who cares!! >:(

Basically I am SOL and have to live with it. >:(

That stinks Flowey. So much so that I won't even attempt to make a Moley joke :(

Yeah, what a waste of the copay.   :P

Next time I am really toasted I will force it to bend all the way. Or I will let someone else do it.

So the dog I rescued from death has:

   Eaten my couch requiring over 1g in vet bills for surgery.
   Eaten the arm of the new leathercouch within an hour of it arriving.
   Eaten the arm of a recliner. (replaced recliner)
   Screwed up my finger for life.

   Save a life- Rescue today - It's Priceless!!!    ::)

Train the dogbefore you run out of fingers.
