Hello, friends! ❤️
Saturday night, my thumb started hurting, but I didn’t think much of it. I figured I’d wake up Sunday morning and it would be better. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. In fact, it hurt even more.
Today, I noticed it was swollen and starting to turn red. At first, I thought, “I’ll just order a brace, and I’ll be good to go.” But as the day went on, I did a little research and decided it was best to see a doctor.
I’m so glad I did. I was diagnosed with tendinitis and now need to follow up with an orthopedic specialist.
For now, I’m learning to do things with my left hand… and let me tell you, it’s like trying to use a completely different part of my brain! 😂 Hopefully, with some rest and the right treatment, I’ll be back to crocheting soon. 🧶❤️
Has anyone else dealt with tendinitis? I’d love to hear any tips that helped during your recovery.
