I went to the doctor today (again) and they put a hard cast on my wrist, (the type you get when you break your arm.) It is kind of a drastic step for my condition, but there are literally running out of ways to treat me. The doctors said that if this doesn’t work one of the few options left is to do exploratory surgery. I’ve never had a cast before and kind of nervous and kind of excited. Hopefully it won’t interfere too much with my daily life, I am a little wary of how much more I’m going to have to use my left hand. Overall though I’m excited and optimistic because things are happening, the wheels are in motion. That is by far the most frustrating part of having to deal with my arm- it never really progresses. I go to the hospital sometimes four times a week for therapy, I’m now seeing my third orthopedist (and as he is relocating soon I assume there will be a fourth) they all say same thing “Try to rest it, stretch, blah blah blah.” It eats up large chunk of my life and doesn’t seem to ever get me anywhere.

So now anyway I got a cast, and it will stay on my arm for three weeks and I’m really hoping it will help.
