After hurricane Irene, I finally have power and internet back. I have been waiting to ask all of you a question.
Up till now, my hands have not been affected by anything other than an occasional ache. About a week ago, both my wrists and hands started getting sore and are getting progressive worse. Now, I cannot lift a book with one hand. I cannot open a twist off lid or hold a pen for long. Is the typical? At first I just thought it was just a pinched nerve due to fusion in my lower c-spine and upper t-spine, but now I am wondering if it is not something else. It is beginning to feel like a typically AS flare only in my hands. Is that even possible? Those of you who have pain in your hands, what have your doctors said is the cause of your pain - AS in hands? Pinched nerves? Or some other crazy inflammatory side effect with a horribly difficult to pronounce name?
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that
one comes from a strong will,
and the other from a strong won't. ~Henry Ward Beecher
Wishing you perseverance every day and obstinacy when you want to give up!
