serious pain

So about a week and a half ago, a friend asked for some help moving some large furniture in her apartment. I obliged.

I didn't feel any pain that day. The next day, it was barely even noticeable.

Each following day, it became more and more painful...

Now it is excruciating... I picked up a splint today to limit my movement, and while that helps, my wrist is still throbbing.

It's either a hairline fracture, or a torn tendon.... or.... something, but holy fuck it hurts... the kind of pain that makes you gasp and get tunnel vision when you hit it.

Gonna try to get to the free clinic tomorrow, but they often have waiting periods of several days.

Arggggg. And it's my dominant hand... so I go to do anything, have to stop, and then use my other hand, and I'm all clumsy and shit.

Not fun.

The reality of American healthcare..

yeah... luckily SF has decent free clinics for the uninsured, or at least operate on a sliding scale.

but yeah, it's balls

SO you were moving some large furniture and...what happened to cause the pain?

Im not sure! but its the only thing I can think of that caused it. it didnt hurt that day... but the next day i noticed slight discomfort.

and each day after that, id wake up, and it would be worse. today, i woke up and it was just hardcore full on fuuuuuck

it's not a hairline fracture then. cause you would remember the incident that caused it. like banging it against something.

It could be something like RSI?

sounds like the quick-onset diabetes to me

edit: yep, just confirmed it. Quick onset diabetes

could be RSI... i lift a lot of stuff at work, i am on the computer a lot, i play my bass a lot, i workout at home a lot.
