Do the following:

Run the shower, REALLY hot!
Take a full bottle of Whiskey.
Go to the shower, and DO NOT get off before you have finished the bottle!

There!

Will propably not take away the pain, but you'll feel different! Works every time and for every pain...


:D

I've gotten it a couple of times usually from having to sit at someone elses desk and their mouse isn't set up right... It usually goes away in a couple of days if I baby it.

We use our hands and arms a LOT so it's easy to maintain an injury if you're not careful.

A couple days? Well that's a relief. :)

Howard, why do you say you see surgery in my future? :Q :(

djheater, I'm googling for tendonitis. Do you have it?

If it's tendonitis, you either overworked it, somehow, or you slept in a very awkward position.
Would you say it hurts when you just move your fingers or wrist?

:frown:

Setting it down on the desk results in annoying, nagging pain.

Anyone else ever wake up with random, unexplained, prolonged joint pain??

Man, I woke up with a major boner the other day. Guess it's not a joint but anyhow.... I had the same throbbing feeling.

Might be worth seeing a doctor about. Does your insurance cover MRIs?

About a year ago I dozed off for about 2-3 hours in a sorta weird position, when I woke up I thought my damn neck was broken. It would hurt if I turned my head to the left or tilted it back, and lasted for about a month.

I can move fingers/wrist with no pain. If I move rotate my shoulder to point straight up, I can feel it, but it doesn't really get my attention unless I extend/retract the elbow. It bites when I pick up my coffee cup.

Oh snap, I've done that before a long while ago too. I bet that's what this is. I probably just slept wrong.

The title of this thread is written so as to look cute!

I am sorry you have pain. You probably just slept on it funny. Take a couple of aspirin and see how it is tomorrow. If it doesnt get better in a few days, or even feel like it is getting better... go to a clinic and get an X-Ray.

:)

Then I'm not 100% sure it's tendonitis as lateral and medial usually present with some sort of pain on flexing of the wrist, though it sounds an awful lot like medial. I'd say ice it and take some NSAIDs and if it doesn't get better in a few day, see your doc, though that's probably what he'll tell you to do anyway.

Right, because it would be your fingers with the pain. ;)




Sorry that was mean of me to say and I have nothing against you. :(
