My hand is still bothering me. It's manageable if I don't ride, but that's not an option. I finally went to a hand specialist, he gave me drugs, they didn't fix anything, and then I was sent for an MRI last week. I was very nervous about it for some reason. The part I was worried about wasn't too bad - where they stick the needle in the wrist to fill it with dye - but then it started hurting during the MRI and was very painful for most of the night. Thankfully the dye eventually dispersed and it felt better.
Yesterday was the follow up visit. Turns out I have three torn ligaments. One of them is on the outside of the wrist, where I had a snakebite looking abrasion and a substantial bruise. Apparently that's the worst one. Two tears can be reached orthoscopically, but he'll have to cut me open for the third one.
Whatever it takes. I want to be able to ride (and sew, type, etc) without pain. I don't know what it will entail for recovery. If they put my arm in a cast, I want to airbrush flames on it. Has anyone ever painted on one of these new fiberglass casts?
