What are you doing?
Thanks Mo. One was for my low back & we have a treatment plan. one was for my hand I have ?Dupuytrens contracture. Ouch! The other 2 -- female stuff, need an MRI and biopsy, lumpectomy & remove some cysts ( same as 6 years ago) we'll await the results 2 weeks? (need to have procedure in 2 weeks, I mean) Maybe? No family history of Breast CA so that's good!

Thanks y'all. These muscle relaxers are knocking me out! I don't like them, of course -- you're NOT supposed to have a drink and take them. Evening drink vs. doing what the doctor says... And the brace for my hand is useless. I can't DO ANYTHING with it on. So I take it off & then my hand hurts. It's a cycle :dunno: The MRI is still a waiting game on a date.
How are Y'ALL doing?????

4A, I just have a lack of strength to do much of anything, back and knees give out but Tylenol usually deals with the aches and pains, tried planting some extra petunias yesterday, managed a few then put the sprinkler on, that was my total of exertion for yesterday, today changed over to summer sheets and wrestled with the corners - having to pull the elastic down so that it wraps around the mattress, managed it but there must be an easier way. Maybe I need a magic wand. That would be great.

Don't know why I posted about my aches and pains 4A, when you have so much more to contend with, must have been feeling a bit sorry for myself so I've given myself a good talking to.
How did the injury to your hand happen, must be annoying that the brace doesn't help like it should.

Mo... thank you for sharing & YES it does help that people listen & care.
I have a condition called DISH in my THORACIC back, I've had it since I was 23 (hit a golf shot fat - my back popped & years later...). So I was in horrible pain up into my 40's. I almost couldn't get out of bed. It's a feeling like your back needs to break MID BACK. Anything you do with your hands out in front hurts. And if weight is involved, watch out! BUT BUT BUT. They gave me a drug 2 years ago that has changed me; almost a cure all. Diclofenac 75mg. It's an anti inflammatory. I take it twice a day. It won't heal but it has helped SO MUCH. They never gave me anything, ever!!! for pain or inflammation, etc. Only a Thoracic video assisted surgery could help & at that time only 7 had been performed all at the University of Texas. It's narly ... they go in on the side & have to cut away rib, etc. NO NO No thank you.
So my low back is new.. & I think my mattress is making it worse. :")
My hand = it's weird. It started in April. 3 small knots appeared on my palm & got so sensitive & bigger in such a short time. Then my thumb must have felt left out 'cause it started too. Anything like sweeping, vacuuming, driving the new car (cause the steering wheel is fatter) opening jars etc. The progression is horrible looking & the surgery to fix it looks worse. Hopefully I'll never need that.
The other?
I'll keep y'all "ABREAST" . ha ha ha
