Time to pay the Doc a visit!

I am defeated :(, I finally had to call my Dr this morning about getting in to have her look at my wrist. I have over the last couple years had some soreness or stiffness in my right wrist where my Carpal bones meet my Ulna and Radius bones.
Its always been one of those things that I can most of the time ice it, baby it and move on. I work with my hands a bunch doing sometimes the same thing over and over everyday. Yes I know what your thinking Carpal Tunnel syndrome, but alreay? I mean I am 25yrs old and have only been working in my industry for 6yrs. I really wont know anything until I meet with her tomorrow.

Anyways I finally broke down and made the appointment, when I woke up this morning my fingers and wrist where swollen. Not huge but defiantly not normal, plus it was sore oh so sore. It feels like, you know when your hands have been out in the cold to long, your joints get sore and stiff that's what it feels like. This constant dual ache in my finger joints and that ache continues to run up my arm to my elbow. Yesterday (Monday) it was feeling the same way and I could not get the swelling to go completely away I was very frustrated cause there were things I wanted to do. I even had to take work off today cause its the most annoying feeling pain ever and it just dose not want to quit.

I am a wee bit nervous for what they might find out which makes me want to bake something. I nervous bake or stress bake lol calms me down. I really do want to figure whatever it is out since its hindering me from work and from finishing my baby quilt that I'm almost done with!! It hard to rest when you don't feel sick but at the same time kept from being able to do things. Helps when the weather is crappy like it is today...
yucky gray, cold, rainy yuck
Ill tell you it dose not help my pissy mood through. I would much rather be at work doing something creative and fun than looking out my window thinking about all the crafts & baking I want to be doing right now!

Aw sweetie I'm so sorry! Make sure it's not arthritis, too. It can occur at any age especially when you work with your arms/hands a lot. I'm sure it's nothing serious though :) Do you have a wrap for it or a brace? And I stress-bake too hehe. It's soooo helpful and relaxing to get lost in a recipe and the smells of evrything. And of course, the taste! Take it easy hun. I miss you!

I have a wrap and brace. I have also been icing it all day long on and off to keep swelling down. I know I want to bake or sew so bad right now and looking at pintrest is not helping lol!

I hope your doctors appointment goes well! By the time I quit at the bank, I was having wrist pain most of the time from typing. It's not fun!
But, when I was working at Baskin Robbins one of the other girls got carpal tunnel from scooping ice cream (it happens!). The doctor gave her a special brace and it took care of the pain she had while scooping. Maybe they can do something like that for you?
Anyways, good luck!
