The orthopedic PA that saw me determined that my scaphoid-lunate tendon was not involved in my wrist trouble and that I have a ganglion cyst that’s putting pressure on my joint and causing pain. She was a really knowledgeable and competent professional, which was terrific! She gave me a cortisone shot in that left wrist and told me that, in three weeks or so, if it was still there and causing pain, they’d remove it surgically. Regardless of what they do, it could always come back, but they don’t know why they form, either, so it is what it is. The shot didn’t hurt any more than the cyst had when it was more inflamed, so that was good. My wrist is tender now, but I expected that. I’m sitting here at the climbing gym contemplating whether or not to climb today. I really hope that the cortisone shot takes care of the problem! I’d rather not have surgery…
Content Rating PG, for the most part
I try to keep the content of my posts in the PG range (meaning that maybe your 13-year-old should not read it... Just kidding!) - you know, something I could get away with tastefully in the town square without getting lynched, tarred-and-feathered, or hung (and something my mother would NOT wash my mouth out with soap for). As far as what age you have to be to understand some of the subtleties of my humor in writing and/or speaking, well... That may vary. A lot.
