Either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly! Well, I must have a different " god." Several days ago, my left toe ( foot drop on left side) caught the rug and I went flying. I foolishly put out my left arm ( my bad arm) and landed on my left hand with a crunch. My hand and arm hurt, but then they always hurt. So I go on about my life till the next morning when I notice my left hand is very swollen, but the pain is not too bad if I don't move any part of my left hand. I hide my hand through the day, elevate the hand above my heart and everything gets better, but the swelling comes back when I lower my arm. My left hand is almost useless at the best of times. It is numb, has neuropathic pain, the fingers don't work, has severe allodynia and has slight swelling. So it is not much worse than before the accident. People tell me to go to the doctor who will send me for an X-ray which may show a fracture which will need to be treated ( Surgery? Pins? Cast? all with potential problems). So, What do you think I should do? Thanks, pH
