So it is almost 3 wks since I jammed my hand into the upright scanner at work. Not much improvement. I did start hand therapy and have some exercises. Not sure how to deal with the whole business. Started out with doc having me use hand as tolerated. That did not go well. Second week after seeing increased swelling and more pain, it was minimal use of left hand at work. Third week. it came down to not using the hand at all at work. I still cashiered with lots of difficulty. Because my right hand was doing the work of 2, I started having issues with my right hand and left thumb and wrist. I was using my forearm and wrist of left side to assist with lifting 12 packs and heavier items. I did not cashier for several days but still no relief. Target gave me jobs that I could do more easily but again I was using the left wrist and forearm to support. now it is minimum usage and some therapy. My middle finger has trigger finger and has a custom made splint that doesnt allow me to bend it much. I can still jesture with it tho if I need to! I dont think I spelled jesture correctly but what I was trying to get across is that I can still flip someone off if I need to defend myself!
