My diagnosis correct… Physician's plan in place.

Well Wednesday I had my appointment at the TRIA Orthopedic Center with Dr. Jeffrey Husband.

He is a doctor who “knows his stuff”.

I had diagnosed my condition correctly, (and that makes me feel good and smart, as well) and he was able to treat it properly, as only a Dr. can do.

He gave me an injection of  Lidocaine & Cortisone, and fitted me with a removable wrist/thumb brace.  The injection was quite painful, and I said to the resident who was in the room, “Is it nighttime?, because I’m seeing stars”.

Here is a photo of the sporty brace I get to wear.

As to the cause of the injury, more was learned on that front too!  The condition is also known as “Mother’s Wrist”.

An injury can occur when, say… lifting a toddler or diapering .

Most of you know that “our toddler” is 22 and weighs 110#.

Additionally, during the window of time when I noticed the onset of the problem, I had installed 6 new windows and one new Atrium door. They all weigh far more than Jessica, and those projects are likely the culprits!
