#and i don't think the splints i bought include the cmc support

[the-yearning-astronaut]

Human bodies are so unfortunate and illogical. Please tell me again why I need to use kinesio tape to retrain my thumb joints how not to move? Oh, you mean if I don't provide the contact reinforcement from the tape they'll regularly hyperextend and collapse every time I do anything from holding my pencil to driving to opening a jam jar? Causing weakness in my hands, arthritic nodes on my joints, tremors, and severe cramping in my palms and forearms? Cool. Cool cool cool. Love it. -10/10.

#chronic pain #hypermobility #hyperextension #dislocation #in case anyone was wondering #my hands hurt like fuck tonight #the tape is very helpful #except for how my eczema flares up something awful from the adhesive and leaves me with irritated skin and a rash #worth it if i can get my thumbs stable again tho #super excited for my thumb splints to ship this week #hoping that by stabilizing my mcp joints that my cmc joints will figure themselves out too #cause they've been particularly painful too recently #and i don't think the splints i bought include the cmc support #i think the right one has ip support tho? #anyway #i hurt tonight and i hardly did anything at pt today and yet it totally wiped me out #im nearly back to square fuckin one AGAIN and i hate it #i hate it so much #fox thoughts #fox is in pain
