Osteoarthritis?
Not in a pleasant mood today, still the thumb is bugging me, I wish I knew what it is. Ofcource I try not search on the internet for symptoms but the trying failed. The pain and symptoms in my thumbs might be osteoarthritis, it's actually quit oblivious. When I wake up the pain is on his worst when I use my thumb, starting stiffness, later on the pain slowly goes away when I do activities, but comes back in the evening. The most pain is on the top of my thumb, when I push there the pain floats trough my whole thumb. The last three days I have been resting, aswell the hurting thumb has rest then. Though the rest brings aswell stiffness, pain. It worries me, and worrying makes the pain ofcource worse.
This morning I felt bad, I worried alot cause of my thumb. Bad scenarios came up, 'maybe I need a operation, can I still do my work? Do I have to give up work? Will I be handicapped with this thumb?' I know I shouldn't think this way................But I do. Sometimes when the pain goes away, I feel a relief, and just think, "I will just see what happens this week." Maybe it's not even Osteoarthritis, maybe I just pulled a muscle, or, I don't know. What I do know is that I have to see my Doctor this week. Tomorrow with work I will see if I can handle the work, if I can't I will be off. And go straight to my Doctor. If I can handle the work then I will wait until Wednesday (day off) to see my Doctor.
