did you have any injections?
nurse called the next day, saying doc wrote 2 referrals, one for consult for injections and one for surgery. told her would pass on the surgery talk for now. i looked at the referral, it is just for new patient. think they just like to stress me out.

=

waited about 2 weeks for back people to call, earliest can get appointment mid jan. don't think should be surprised, going to heart doctor wed, been waiting to see them since august. in both cases, not even seeing doctor, just NPs. big downside of living in the sticks

If you are asking me if I have had the injections, yes - I didn't keep count but over the years I've probably had 30+. Don't freak. At one point the doc's used to do 3 , 2 weeks apart. I'm pretty sure if I had done what the doc had told me to instead of doing everything he told me not to do at least 3 times (to show the fucker - I guess how dumb I was?) I would have got more out of them. The first set I had I got almost 2 years out of. As stated I didn't do what he told me to do. I had 4-5 multi story projects going and didn't have time to be sick (youth). I recommend trying them before even thinking about surgery. They do come with some risk as I'm sure someone here will point out but I never had issue with them.

Bros I need peculiar advice. Bro of mine got a hand injury, they think its bruised nerves. But he has severe pain when typing now but has full motion. Is there anything glove like with an exoskeleton frame that would let him type? Thinking something that would fit over top of fingers and clip over the forefinger and extend slightly past the fingertip. I did a cursory search online and can't find anything for this type of injury and the OT he's seen so far doesn't have any suggestions, but he's going to a specialist eventually.

I've never had a problem with any drug and I didn't take them all at once but various stuff like hydrocone, oxycoden, oxycontin or what it's called and other things I can't remember.

Today the doctor did something new and shortly after lunch I knew something was wrong. My blood oxygen was tested and it's normally 98% it was 86%. I've never done recreation drugs but I feel like some people I've seen. Major floatin around, well I couldn't move at all. They gave O2 and finally I got it up just breathing.

It was out there, only thing now is a headace is coming on but jeeze that wsas rough.

I'd suggest he goes to a physical therapist pronto. Not only will they be able to give him exercises to do to make sure his hand improves, but they will also have any possible info on what can help him right now, like a glove or whatever. Other than that, wish I could help you.

He is, but the guy doesn't know of anything to help and is kinda useless. He's on a waiting list for an appt at a hand specialist. We're trying to 3d print some stuff now.

Look up tendinitis gloves. That might be just the thing. You can get them anywhere (Walmart for example). There are many types, a lot of them fingerless so you can still do daily tasks while wearing them (like typing). Search Amazon to get an idea. Hope your friend figures out something.

So what I ended up doing was finding some finger splint plans and modifying them a bit and printed them out. Put in a little bit of 2mm foam and he tried them out. Worked out ok, but redid them in TPU and they are pretty much perfect. TPU is just pliable enough that it acts as a bit of a shock absorber but is rigid enough that most of the force gets carried into the bands further up the finger. That plus we could measure his fingers with calipers and I can scale them to fit. Supposedly got a different hand specialist appointment in a month.
