My poor hands

I've been at my job for only 4 months now and my poor arthritic hands can barely take it anymore. 馃槶

I have to take OTC arthritis relief medication every single day just to be able to do the job, but lately even the pills don't help. It's hard. I have to have other people open bags for me at work, and forget lifting anything heavy. I drop things constantly too, because as well as arthritis I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists/hands which causes numbness.

My fiance and I are busting our butts to save the money we need to move back to Tennessee (I'll be able to do less physically demanding work there), but we still have about 3 months before we are all set to move. I'm terrified that my hands are going to get worse before we can leave, which would ruin everything. 馃槶

God bless you and your hands. Been there and had the carpel tunnel surgery on my dominant hand and it made a world of difference.

Good luck and God bless you.

@DearAmbellina2113 You are quite welcome, and if you ever have surgery for the carpel tunnel research the surgeons in that field and go with the one that has a high success rate. Just because a person is a surgeon does not mean they are good; just like mechanics, builders and the like it does not mean they are good. You know what I mean.
