It might just do the trick and it's cheaper than paying a doctor.

Five wrist surgeries
Don't takes your wrists for granted. I have an unusual history, but it can happen to you. I had bilateral wrist pain for a couple of years so went to a regular orthopedist as that is who my insurance approved. He said it was carpal tunnel, but my electrodiagnostic tests showed right worse than left, but my left hand ached more. I had bilateral carpal tunnel release (don't recommend doing both at once like me), and then had a re-do on the left because the pain was worse there. After a long fight with my insurance company, I finally got in to see a hand specialist who found I had stage IIIB Keinboch syndrome, which is supposed to happen in burly male masonry workers in their dominant hand, or someone with a previous fracture, not this little female in her nondominant hand with no previous trauma. Well, he unsuccessfully tried a revascularization with external fixator in the left wrist. Then I had a partial wrist fusion, which made it worse, and finally a total left wrist fusion, which finally was a success and I no longer have that dull achy pain that woke me up at night. Your wrists and hands are your livelihood. Don't take them for granted or you won't have them for long in this job. I still need a tight wrist strap (Velcro tennis style with magnets) that works best when I overuse my hand like from cleaning house, gardening, etc., but I can still type and I still love my job.
sprained wrist
Do you have any advice on working with a sprained wrist? I sprained it 2 months ago. It's not improving. I've been using ice/Advil but it still hurts hurts hurts hurts.
Thank you.
Wrist braces
My right wrist has recently been getting quite tired and sore before I am done working and I was considering ordering a wrist brace/splint. If anyone has used one, please let me know what kind you used, whether you liked it or not, etc. I would like to get something that will be comfortable but work as well. Thanks!
wrist brace
I recently developed some carpal tunnel in my left wrist and I have been using a brace I bought from Walmart for about $20. I can't remember the brand but it's white and gray and has a mesh on it to let your arm breath. It's specifically for carpal tunnel/tendinitis and it's worked great for me!
Also, sleeping in it has done wonders for me!
Remember they are doing split custody, they might - sm
be with daddy right now, either way though you are right. She can get away with it now that they are little and have no clue what she is doing, but if she continues on this way they will catch on eventually.
I loooove my split keyboard!!!!!!
okay it is official. I looooooooooove my split keyboard!!!!!! Now that I am used to the difference it is so much easier to type and it doesn't hurt my wrists! I just wanted to exclaim to the world that I totally love my keyboard!!! (i know i'm a dork)
Second marriage. We split bills. I don't
xx
I also work a split shift.
I stay in my pajamas as long as I can. After work I chill and then do whatever chores around the house, and then take a shower and make myself somewhat "presentable" by the time everybody gets home.
Wrist pain, any suggestions
I have typed for the past years and my wrists while resting them now are aching. Has anyone noticed any difference with using the arm rests or what has helped you? Want to get something today to relieve this ongoing pain now. Thanks.
How to split insurance with a deceased person?
My brother was dead. First I knew nothing of the insurance money. They got in touch with me. They gave me half and spent a year trying to find the children (2) of my deceased brother. After a year and they could not locate, they got in touch with me again and sent me the remainder. Any more questions?
Hi, NightOwl, We can split, you take the larger one, I take the smaller ones! LOL...nm

Wrist bands sound great
I'm going to look into those.
split time between home and grandparent's farm
When I got divorced, I left my home town and moved 1000 miles away. Stayed there 2-1/2 years, came back to my home town's neighboring state for 3 years, but back to the neighboring state that was 1000 miles away again...
now I'm back in my home town.
I moved to several different areas in those locales during that time, so I actually moved a total of 9 times in 7 years. I am sick of moving my king size bedroom, but I will probably move again next year, just a mile or so away though. I hope it's the last move!
The fair thing would be to share it and split the prize - sm
good karma and all that. I try to do that though, I have had more bad than good lately. I am expecting a refund of an overcharge today in my account, bank informed me yesterday that the store (7-11) appeared to be refunding in full all four purchases I made on a particular day ( I am disputing 3 charges and only 1 of them partially as I did owe some of the money). If they do refund all I will end up with an extra $120. So if that ends up being the case I will do something with half of that to benefit someone else whether it be a school fundraiser, the local Goodwill, a charity I like to donate to, etc. I try to balance it all out, plus it is nice to be able to help others when you can.
sleeping
You are so wrong for posting that picture......they are sooooooo cute.....all I can do is sit here and cry........That pic should be a Christmas postcard..........I'm crying, but you made my day.....THANK YOU
No sleeping here either.
34* w/a high of around 60* and pt.cloudy.
No plans today. Just hanging around as usual.
Everyone enjoy your day.
Not sleeping
Sometimes your hormones will prevent you from sleeping. The night before my little friend comes every month, I have trouble sleeping.
twins nor triplets would be born at same minute. must be split personality, LOL! nm

Split up what you have and stagger the pieces, play with it, add some glass, and/or start

I did have one surgically removed from my wrist by a hand surgeon years ago.
He did a real good job and has never recurred. He showed it to me when he took it out and it basically just looked like a little balloon with a long skinny taiI. I had it done on a Friday and I believe by Monday I was back at work again and in a week or so had the stitches removed. The incision is not even a 1/2-inch long. I took pain pills for the day of surgery and probably the next day and that was it. Mine wasn't that large and was given the choice of leaving it alone or have it excised. I thought that I might as well take care of the problem when it was minor before it got much larger.
My 11yr old cat has taken to sleeping
on my bed during the day exactly where I sleep. He often gets in bed with us at night, something he has never done. He also wants to be more sociable and wants to be petted a lot. Is this odd behavior? I'm thinking maybe he know something that I don't. He seems healthy enough, the last vet visit he had a very good check-up. Should I be worried?
Maybe the baby was sleeping.
I know mine all had lower heart rates in the 1-teens when they were sleeping when we did ultrasounds and listened to their heart beats. When they were awake it ranged from 130s-160s. I hope yours is okay.
You should have split the insurance money with hour stepbrother's WIFE AND CHILDREN...
they are the legal heirs, AND COME IN FIRST PLACE, EVEN BEFORE YOU!
Wrist splints. I worked for a hand surgeon and started having the same problem and he put me in
wrist splints. I, of course, got a better quality one from his suppliers but you can still get them at any pharmacy or medical supply store.
Me, too! Socks for sleeping have to be white! :) nm

why do "socks for sleeping have to be white*??
college kids sleeping together
I have an 18 and 21 year old (both girls) that go to college. Both of them have boyfriends out of State. So they come to visit and these boys sleep in another room because my daughters know I would not care to have them sleep in the same beds in my home. I told them I am not running a hotel. I always tell them there is a diference between a college dorm and our home. What happens at college I don't see. Last night I asked the 18 year old when you go to your boyfriend's house who is 20where do you sleep. (I never met the parents. She said the stepmom said she would not have a problem sharing the same bed in her home but knows that her stepson does not share one in our home so she wants to respect our wishes. I know when my daugther went off to college she was never sexually active and had morals. This woman is 38 and I am 52. There is also a 10 year old boy that lives in that same house. My daugter told me they are more like hippies compared to us. Am I being a prude or does anyone feel the same way I do.
I would stop sleeping in the same bed/room as him
Tell him that you can't stand the stench because it can't be good. Not taking care of/repairing your teeth is as bad as not taking a shower/practicing basic good hygeine. It's pretty gross.
Let sleeping dogs lie... leave him
Just leave him, if he doesn't love you he can still love your kids long distance. I wouldn't have let him come back the first time. You need to think about yourself and your children, let sleeping dogs lie.
My bad! My little girl says its Sleeping Beauty
not Snow White! I stand corrected! I'm not a princess expert by any means!
Sleeping too late in the morning.

Sleeping woman uses the internet
Or it could be titled...You know your addicted to the internet when.....

I remember sliding out of a chair and sleeping on the floor (sm)
at my MIL's house during first trimester. Just seemed to drop off so easily and they were soooooo boring.
Good luck to you. Hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy.
Is the problem indoor accidents, or sleeping at night ?
Didn't give any details.
you'll have a retainer for life to wear while sleeping. sm
and please do. a family member had braces in elementary school and they came out beautiful. somewhere after marriage, kids, she stopped wearing the retainer. she is not in her 40's and her teeth shifted back to almost day one.
wear the retainer while sleeping - it's no biggie compared to the waste of time and money and beautiful smiles.
Brother found out he had nerve transposition in his elbows causing wrist pain. Had elbows done &

I've had a ganglion cyst on wrist and also had cyst on tendon in hand.
Back in 1980 when I was attending a huge university with medical school attached, we had a clinic on the main campus staffed by residents from the university hospital. I went in and asked, "What's this thing on my hand?" It was a cyst, but back in those days, a very old-timey "cure" was suggested. The doc wanted to thwack it with a big book and smash it away. What can I say? The guy was sooo cute, and he took me out to dinner later, too! He smashed my hand with a book and it hurt like crazy! Then the darn cyst came back a year or two later, and a different doctor suggested the same thing. Smashed that, too. It came back again, and another doctor tried a needle aspiration thing and it seemed to go away for good at that point.
Now here's where it just gets sooo interesting. I do a lot of outdoor stuff, including winter camping, paddling sports, etc. Over the years I've gotten mild frostbite on the hand, smashed it between two canoes, had some pretty awful blood draws by inept nurses. Well, now I have lymphedema in the hand. It swells like crazy and I have to do manual decompression, exercises, stretches, wrapping and I wear a compression garment most of the time. It sucks. Does the cyst smashing have anything to do with it? Was it the frostbite? Other injuries? Who knows. I have it and it doesn't go away. Now I have to be on guard for infection at all times.
Whatever you do, don't let anyone tell you to just smash the thing! LOL Tho, I doubt anyone still says that these days!
At the base of the finger or at the base of the palm near the wrist? nm
