I've been having some issues with this guy lately. I smashed into a tree over a month ago on a ride. Nothing new there. I thought I had a pricker or something in it because it had this weird bulge at the top and I actually squeezed bloody yuck out of it. It has been discolored at the joint and there's a raised purple blue bump. Last night I was talking to Mike about it and after I mentioned it still hurts pretty bad, he pointed out that it is crooked and there is a bump on the side as well. Perfect. I haven't really paid much attention to it because my hands hurt frequently and my joints and that pain is much more uncomfortable than this. This is just a nuisance. It has been really achy lately and I've noticed at yoga I'm having trouble straightening it out for planks and down dogs and such. I realized that I can't straighten it without pain. So I went to get an x-ray, mostly to make sure there was nothing in it...pricker, wood, metal, plastic...sounds crazy but for those of you who have raised me, lived with me or those that know me well you understand that none of those things are out of the question. I do weird shit.
Got an x-ray. It's broken and has been for a while. Looks like it's tried to heal and now has started to heal in a curved position. Awesome. The doctor suggested I go to a specialist because he thinks it may need to be re-broken and re-set. Not sure if the splint will do anything now. Hello. No way. I'll see how this splint thing works out. I've already had it off a few times at work today because I'm a chronic hand washer at work. I'm going to try to keep it on. It does hurt quite a bit now that's it's forced to be straight in the splint. Already putting together my 'riding' splint for the weekend...
