it turns out i don't actually have carpal tunnel . . . i know, what the fuck? i went to physical therapy today and it was quickly determined that this is what's actually wrong with me, and i've been given some back/shoulder exercises to do, and been told to STAND UP STRAIGHT, GODDAMMIT! only in nice PT terms, of course. ah, posture. i guess i should have been sticking my chest out all those years after all.
two awesome pieces of awesomeness that are the result of this diagnosis:
a) NO MORE SPLINTS!
b) i am allowed to knit again! in moderation.
hooray!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news! Let us know what you decide to knit as you triumphantly return to the craft!
ReplyDeleteheh, i'm trying to decide which half-finished project to tackle first! i haven't paid attention to any knitting stuff for a couple of months--have i missed anything awesome?
ReplyDeleteThat's great!
ReplyDeleteSo with PT you'll be able to recover fully?
ReplyDeletei hope so . . .
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem, and a chiropractor has helped me immensely.
ReplyDeletethat's really good to know--thanks lisa!
