Well, poop.
Went to the primary care doc Monday. She sent me for OT.
That was this morning. The OT, who has a lot of experience with hand issues, very quickly said she wanted to send me to a hand specialist, and one she knew well had clinic hours today. She literally walked down the hall to talk to him to see if he could fit me in.
Shredded one tendon. A bone spur did the deed and might injure others if not dealt with. Somewhat urgent.
So, guess what I’ll be doing Tuesday?

Well, a diagnosis is better than none, and it definitely sounds treatable. Good luck! It’ll get better after the doctors do their thing!
Which tendon, if you don’t mind my asking?

Acid reflux? I get similar in my left hand, arm and chest, did the rounds of tests when I was convinced it was my heart playing up, and eventually found it was gastro-intestinal. I still get it from time to time, but it’s mostly dietary and antacids help.
I was diagnosed with acid reflux when I was having pains mimicking the heart. , jaw, chest, left arm all the way to the hand. Mine turned out to be swallowing air, quick fix for me was to carry a hanky and wipe my mouth instead of swallowing when it became an issue.
I’m sure there’s a fancy word for it but I think it’s an extensor (versus flexor) tendon, that controls just the little finger.
I can curl my finger down just fine to make a fist, I just can’t lift it beyond straight.

I’ve been reading up on that, so thanks, I think I needed to know it.
Bumpdate - Mama Zappa had her surgery today, and it went well. I’m sure she’ll tell you all about it, once her fingers all work.
