[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 366612, member: 1233"] I am sorry. I totally understand. I slept for a couple of days because I really overdid it when we took Jess to the doctor because we wanted to do something for Fathers Day also. husband took the kids to a reunion at his Dad's house on Sat. I specifically told each of them that they HAD to pick up the living room before they left. Even left a note so husband wouldn't "forget". I walked into the living room and there was NO floor. It was totally covered with books, plates, tissues from a garbage bag that the cat attacked (while they were home), and general junk. I was hurting bad so I turned around and just stayed in my room. Have you tried giving them lists? I also do not CARE if they want to "keep" something for a later project. It never gets done so why bother? I just wait until they are watching tv and throw it out anyway. My husband is pretty used to it, He REFUSES to EVER pick up something that is not strictly his. Things that are for the family are ignored by him. Even if he is the one who decided we needed it. He started that nonsense about ten years ago so I told him that if it bugged me I was getting rid of it - even if was "his". It doesn't seem to bother him, even when I go through his drawers. The whole thing drives me crazy. Have you found any braces that help? I sometimes have luck with them. Can you use either lidocaine cream or Lidoderm patches? They are lidocaine patches and can help. You will have a hard time getting them to stick to your hands when you are doing stuff, but you could use them when your hands are still for some relief. They are by prescription.. They could also help with many other aches and pains. A friend of mine swore by the capsaicin cream when her carpal tunnel acted up. If you use it be SURE not to touch your eyes or nose. She used to put gloves on and pull them up just enough to let her wrists show before she put the cream on. Then her fingers stayed out of contact with the cream. Whatever else happens, I hope you get some relief from the pain soon. If you cannot afford an appointment, don't hesitate to call your doctor and tell them you are doing a lot worse and cannot afford an office visit, but can they rx something to help with the pain? I know my docs usually are very understanding. Many hugs. [/QUOTE]
