RE: Dupuytren's Disease

in #hive2 years ago

I’m typing ok right now. My job didn’t screw around because of all the workman’s comp related to carpal tunnel that happened during COVID. I had to get an ergo eval at home and work. They gave me ergonomic equipment that really brought the physical stress down of constant computer work.

Also, the specialist I saw gave me a wrist splint to use and an injection or cortisol into my wrist. The disease spread into my right hand and started forming on my left. Fortunately my fingers haven’t been restricted yet, but I do have resistance when I try to open my hand fully.

Finally, the hand exercises I’m doing painfully stretches the tissue in my hand allowing me continued movement. Family has to eat, so I need to work.
