"Her wrists were beautiful…"

August 16, 2006 in Personal/Health by JeniQ | 1 comment

I went to the hand specialist at Raleigh Orthopaedic yesterday. I was relieved to hear that part of the numbness/tingling that I’d been feeling in my right thumb was a result of my watch! It seems that the radial nerve that passes alongside the underside of my forearm and up and over my wrist to my thumb is very sensitive, and any pressure/compression will irritate it. The doctor proved this by (unintentionally) making me cry when he lightly thumped my arm in the right spot. It’s called Wartenberg’s Syndrome.

But it seems that is not all that’s going on. He suggested that what is causing pain when I use the wrist in a hyperflexed, weight bearing situation is a ganglion cyst. He suggested an MRI to be sure, but said that I shouldn’t get the MRI if I wouldn’t consider surgery to resolve the problem. I guess I’m allowing that option because I have the MRI scheduled for Saturday.

    It wasn’t a ganglion cyst, just an overactive imagination. 🙂 Nah, I really blame it on inflamed nerves. I’m really nervey, apparently.
