I went to the hand specialist this afternoon. The MRI, apparently, was a complete waste of time (I was so mad) so they snapped three X-rays. I've got to be radioactive by now; that's my 2nd set of X-rays this year.
After reviewing the films, the doctor said, "Well, your joint is all inflamed and you might have a cyst. We usually give cortisone shots for that."
No dislocated bone, I guess. That MRI was a waste of time...
So, not 5 minutes after telling me he was going to shoot me up, the doc came back in with a syringe and an iodine swab.
"This won't hurt very bad, but you might feel some burning." He told me. What a relief.
For the record, it hurt, and I did feel burning.
Unfortunately, my wrist swelled up immediately and got very numb. I am now having problems with fine motor skills because I can't feel my wrist moving and it's all stiff. So I think I'm going to call it a day and go home to my ice pack.
The swelling is supposed to go down shortly and then I'll be all healed. Let's pray, anyway.
And this is really short and choppy because, surprise!, it hurts to type.
