I went to the hand specialist today. I did not get a diagnosis. =(

The specialist thought that the swelling in both hands was odd. She thinks that it is a separate issue than the trigger finger. She is testing me for Lyme disease. She gave me a prescription for a slow release anti inflammatory with a pain killer. You have to take the meds with food as it will rot in your stomach. The side effects include heart attack and stopping breathing. There are also some explosive side effects too. Great. Another thing mentions being tired so I hope I can sleep.

She also gave me a cortisone shot in my hand. Between that and the my blood was drawn by a butcher my whole arm is aching. Oi.

I am supposed to call back in 10 day

Sorry you didn't get a diagnosis. Has she done an x-ray to rule out some kind of arthritis? I hope they get to them bottom of it soon. x

No diagnosis. Damn.

I hope that you can tolerate the meds. And that they help.
