Very late posting today. Did a lot of running around this afternoon. Actually took this picture in the patient room of the hand doctor's office. Was there cause I have been having pain in my right thumb for about a year now. It gets really aggravated the more I am on the computer. Anyway after seeing a doctor this summer who was less than helpful, I found a new specialist. She had a much better bedside manner and was so much more informative. She took one look at my little toe thumb and told me it was a genetic defect. Apparently there are others out there with Thumpers. Who knew! Because of this my thumbs are more prone to arthritis, which is actually what is causing my pain. I need to start wearing a brace again :( , go to some therapy to learn exercises, and start taking an anti-inflammatory every day. She did tell me that the pain I have now is the worse it'll prolly ever be cause as the arthritis progresses the pain lessens mostly cause the range of motion decreases. Awesome!
So who's jealous of my toe thumbs?
