Just came from Dr's .... got my diagnosis.
I have 3 seperate injuries, all unrelated, but all causing prolems with my throttle hand.
1) Got soft-tissue damage in right wrist, only causes sharp pain & swelling. Fix, lots of Advils :biggrin:
2) Multiple small tears in forearm/wrist tendon(s). Again, just pain and swelling related.
3) Loss of control of my hand/fingers is nuerological. When I do certain movements (throttle/brake, or writing with pen & paper) my hand and brain arent communicating correctly. It feels like I have soaked my hand in a bucket of ice/water...just can't control my movements, and my hand/fingers cramp & twist up. Some kind of distonia or something (nueral abnormal processing). He said it was like (or some form of) localized parkensons(sp) in my hand.
He is sending me to a nuerologist, to see if he can help.
I skipped the cortizome shot because he said it won't do anything to fix my hand, for this weekend.
It sucks, but to be honest, I bitch too much....how fast I can ride my bike really isn't that big a deal in the scheme of things. It's frustrating, but I can think of a whole lot worse things to deal with, so it's all good.
Thanks guys :cheers:
