I was asked to write a journal about how my cts is doing, so I will do so!

As you might know/remember I did go to a massage therapist to see if she could do something agains't it, I didn't have too much hope about it though because the doctor tould me that an operation would be the ONLY way to fix this.

Well so I went there once after having to wear my handbrace on my right hand for 4 months (and one for my left for 1 month) and you kno what happened two hours later?
I walked out there WITHOUT those braces.
Yes it did hurt, but not at ALL like it did before I visited her!

And what is even better?
I haven't had to wear them even ONCE after that.


This is the closest to a miracle I have ever gone through honestly, I NEVER believed the effect would be so noticable just after ONE visit.

She massage my wrist, she uses acupuncture (which hurts like hell but it DOES feel MUCH better afterwards), she uses laser and possibly the most important thing - she TALKS about me with my problem and let me talk and cry however much I need to do which is something I have needed to do ever since this started. That might not be the most important thing for my hands, but to talk with someone about this after what I have gone through is REALLY important! I have been VERY depressed about this from time to time with no one I really could talk that much about it with. (and by that I mean that I want to talk with a person face to face, it just isn't the same thing to alk over computers...)
So yeah, maybe it sounds silly but it DOES make me feel a lot better afterwards, both physically and mentally.

I still go through pain while doing normal everyday stuff, like lifting a shopping bag, cleaning at work(and at home), driving my car, carrying Molly etc etc (and living out in the country doesn't help this a bit as that leads to a LOT more things having to be done), and while drawing I have to take a break every five minutes or so because it starts to hurt.
But at least that's an improvement, before I couldn't even HOLD a pen with my right hand because it started to hurt so bad.
So slowly but surely I am getting better, I will have to visit the massage therapist a LOT of times which I don't mind at ALL.

The only thing that will change after this is that I am going to (or am already doing) is to use my left hand a LOT more!
I am getting a lot more stable AND quicker with it, so yeah, why not?
I have already said it several times on tumblr that I PLAN to use it as my scething hand in the future, but that has already started to happen really.
Usually while trying to scetch with my right hand I actually end up changing hands in the middle of everything (or redo it all) just because I am actually starting to PREFER to use my left hand for scetching.

I never knew I would end up in that situation, but it's actually a pretty good thing as it spares my right hand from a LOT of work!

So to end this - both hands are getting better, my right hand is still having some issues but my left hand is starting to turn out really good after all of this!

Good to know you're getting better :) I hope this cts thing goes away quickly. I know what it's like to not be able to move one arm, and it sucks :x
