I'm sad to say that I'm having a really bad pain day. Like "maybe I should pop one of those left over percosets" pain days
. What's really agrivating about this...it's not in the arm I had surgery on! Okay, well it is and it isn't. I had my CuTS surgery 10 months ago today on my right arm along with a CTS and GCS decompression for good measure. Then in March I had the left arm checked out and they said the elbow was good and all I needed was the CTS and GCS on the left wrist (all...riiiight).
Over the past month or so, I've had a few bad days with my left arm that are starting to make me both nervous and really irked. If the pain was just in my wrist or fingers, I could chalk that up to the nerves still healing from my April surgery on that hand. But no, the pain is definitely stemming from my elbow. It's quite painful on the inner part of my arm from my elbow to about half-way to my wrist.
I really don't want to go through this again, especially knowing that it could have all been taken care of at one time back in April. I told my surgeon I never wanted to see him again - no offense intended. I'm really just venting here. My husband is a PT and honestly, he has no sympathy for me. He just hands me papers with stretches on them.
So anyway, I'm in the waiting game now. I've already taken 2 quarters off school to deal with these bum arms of mine but I can't afford to do that anymore. I'm hoping that this doesn't start becoming more frequent. I can deal with a bad day here and there. Okay, enough of my whining. How's everyone else?
