It has been 11 months since my left thumb has been causing severe pain. Bad enough I cannot hold a cup in my left hand. Ive had cortisone shots in numerous places, been splinted, been casted, had surgery for a different issue completely hoping it would help alleviate the pain and yet.... it still hurts just as much as it did 11 months ago. For those of you who know me well, I dont give up. I may be insanely frustrated, but am still hopeful my appointment on April 9 will reveal better news than Ive had so far. At this point, I would take any news. Any news is better than none at all or the guesses so far! With that said, has it put a damper on my goals? No. It has slowed me down a bit. It has made me give up on certain days and given me thoughts of I cant do this. It has prevented me from working out many days and prevented me from only doing certain things on others (weight-bearing hand moves). BUT, it has also given me the will to push play and to be an inspiration to others with injuries. Just because you have one doesnt mean you cannot do all types of exercises. Find one that works for you. Modify workouts if you have to. Find a way. Find support. Find those who cheer you on, help you through the bad days and always put a smile on your face! TOGETHER you can do anything you set your mind to because help and support is a key factor. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED ME, LIFTED ME UP AND CONTINUE TO CHEER ME ON!!!!
