Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 What a wonderful thought huh? My whole body has started to feel the effects of my simple sprain. My left wrist is the intial point of injury but now it has effected so many parts of my body that I've lost count...it took the whole route up from my wrist to elbow to shoulder across my neck and down my whole back, now it affects my right wrist at times with swelling to both hands, and even better it has started to make my hips burn and both knees swell and I cant even bend my knees to get down on them without excruitiating pain! my calves also burn now when I come close to my next dose of Neurontin. I worked for about 2 hrs yesterday before I finally had to give in and go home...between the bending to retrieve things off the floor and grasping charts with my fingers to lay into my right arm it got to be too much! Frustrated?? Ya just a little. But today is a new day and I will go in and do a few more hours and see how I feel. Im aiming for 4 hrs a day by the end of the week but between the cold and the fatigue Im not sure that will happen. Im not giving up though, Im determined to do a little bit each day until I cant do it anymore. Anyway, I've blabbered on long enough..hope everyone is having a good day!
