I got diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I'm like a living definition of the condition, ha! It can be annoying, for sure -- but I laugh at myself about it at times, too. :)
Fingers are numb? something blocking Chi from flowing in fingers. Have you talked to an Acupuncture person? Not saying that it would work but it deals with blocked energy.
Next time I see my Chinese Herbalist and Acupuncturist I will talk with him to hear his thoughts on this and will let you know.
Hammer toes, misalignment of bones in my feet, a bone spur right foot makes it feel like I am walking with stones in my footwear a lot of the time. Thickly cushioned insoles don't help much. I can still walk around but have to take about a 20 second pain break about every 100 yards or so.
My doc said about a year on the wait list to see a podiatrist so I did some research first indicated operating to try fix this kind of thing is risky and could result in worse problems. I'm old and I am going to die pretty soon anyway so I don't think i'll bother. It's not really so bad that I can't get around.
Perhaps in a very small percentage of cases. Genes can make you more likely to get the condition but shoe choice is usually the culprit and surgery is an option, whether fixed or flexible. That's here in the USA.
I think I could fix that but you'd have to move next-door and I would have to keep an eye on you and re-train your whole arm and body core.
You see, we are all attached inside. So you may be moving your wrist funkily. You may be moving your wrist in a manner that is inflaming the nerves between the bones in the wrist and causing swelling. So you have to re-train your arm to take up some of the slack that your wrist is taking on.
You need to not use your wrists until you have no pain. Wrap them. Baby them and don't use them. Do not compromise the movement. Use some powerfully wonderful sedative like Bio-Freeze. Wrap the wrists like you were in an emergency room. Because you do not need to keep cutting the wrist. It is not the wrist's fault and this will only further scar and damage your hands and arms. DO NOT do that unless you are positive it will improve you. And listen to me.
If you cannot listen to me, your body will prove me out. Be safe, not sorry.
Love, Sharon
Now, let's say that you listen to me and wrap your wrists and do the bio-freeze. Now you need to exercise your biceps. This is pleasant. You will like this new habit, because it involves only your stretching your arms.
Take your arms. Raise them to the level of your shoulders and form a T.
Slowly move them forward. Slowly move them as far back as you can take them. Slowly raise them above your head and feel the upper arm muscles. Try and picture all the muscle surrounding the upper arm. The biceps on the "front" the triceps on the "back". (not really the front and back, but you know what I am saying this way)
Strectch upwards trying to pay attention to that area and the armpit. Now move your arm and raise it higher by using those muscles primarily. IT will work your side core. It will address a stretch to the pecs, traps and all those guys on your side.
Trust me. This makes a difference. It is all attached. Western Medicine addresses the source of the pain. Holistic medicine considers how the body works to correct all the things that contribute to the pain at the source. They are still there after the operation and if those things are not corrected, you will have another operation.
I should have tried those things before the surgery. I had it done on my other wrist years ago and it worked immediately. When I found out an intern did this one I was a bit miffed and the doctor knew it. I know about the exercises as I was an avid body-builder while in the Navy. I have to use the hand though as my other shoulder has major arthritis and deterioration and is useless. PT was extremely painful. I remember meditating my pain away before a session. Big mistake. The therapist was able to push me beyond the pain threshold and I didn't feel it.The next day I did. Thanks for the info. I will try the bio-freeze.
