Freaking Tendonitis!
|
|
|
I've got an inflamed tendon. The main one on the thumb side of my left hand wrist, palm facing upwards. This thing is beginning to make me depressed, and also alarmed because in January I'll begin touring on a very tight schedual. I know a lot of you guys have been through this at some point.. your help is very much needed now. I'm at my wits end with this thing. There's a lot of information on the net but it's often contradictory or vague. What has worked for you guys? I've been doing the following things: I sleep with a splint, so I don't flex the wrist. I play very little guitar, almost none. I've used anti-inflammatory gel (diklofenak), especially in the beginning phase I have been on NSAIDs (naproxen) Quit NSAIDS after 3 weeks because I read in several places that it slows down regeneration. I take one supplement, Magnesium I use a natural product called FIX, which i massage onto the wrist I've done cold / hot baths after playing, or straining the left hand I'm going to eat pineapple and papaya today because I read something about their enzymes being good for keeping down inflammation.. besically I'm becoming desperate. Tuesday I have a gig.. my left hand is weak, I hope I can play.. Friday I'm meeting a fysiotherapist I've had this for a month now. It doesn't hurt much, but it's there and causes a lot of discomfort when flexing the wrist and my grip feels weak.
