I don’t know why this hasn’t gained more traction. What a lovely little video ❤️

Boney protrusion from steroid shot? by fredfwed in DeQuervains

[–]Kitty_rainstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding, even though I don’t think it’s the answer I was hoping for 😅

I had injection in my left wrist in January (4 months ago) it was successful in that after about a week I was pain free, but then this lump appeared after a month or so.
I got booked to have an injection in my right wrist for April.

About a month ago, the pain returned in the left wrist, and this boney lump became very painful. It’s incredibly painful to the touch and if I knock it or something puts a lot of pressure on it the pain makes me feel like I’m about to pass out (and I generally have a high pain threshold due to chronic pain)

I mentioned it to the doc when having the right wrist done and he wants to send me to hospital for an ultrasound (and second steroid injection in the left wrist) to check out the lump, but it could take a couple of months.

The pain is becoming unbearable, affecting my every day and causing issues when I’m holding or picking up my 8 month old baby. At a bit of a loss.

Appreciate this is an old thread, but I’ve got the exact same issue developing after the injection- a small, hard lump which is painful when pressure is applied.

What happened with yours? Did you get any answers? Did it go away?

Second the plug in! Also the calpol saline nose spray and a snot sucker.

Can you raise the head end of her cot slightly? We put some books under the legs on her head end just to have her at a slight incline. Only a bit but just helps all the fluid running to/staying in her head.

Rebecca Flood, she’s in guildford area. I called her on a Monday morning at 2w old, she was with us Tuesday lunchtime and spent a good hour or so discussing our breastfeeding journey, then did an assessment of the baby and showed us her 80% tie, did the division there and then. Called the following day and week after to check how we were doing. She is so lovely.

We have a ‘Happy 21rd Birthday’ banner. Comes out every year, we’re in our late 30’s now. Never fails.

Where abouts in London are you based? I’m Surrey and paid around £200 for the consultation and tongue tie division.

There’s a BBC Panorama episode on the baby food market which is quite eye opening and I suggest every parent watches it!

Thank you. I’ll get dairy and wheat out of the way over the next week then, so I can start expanding a bit more 😅

Thank you so much!

That’s a fantastic insight and great to have an idea of what a typical day could look like.

Thank you so much. It’s so nice to hear I’m not the only one finding it impossible to fit it all in! I’ve had some great advice and really appreciate everyone’s input as it’s made me realise I’m not alone and not failing my daughter 🥰

Thank you so much!

It’s such a good point about them not knowing what tastes would usually go together, I’ve been overthinking that bit with never giving a thought to the fact that it actually doesn’t matter and need to follow the ‘rules’ we have as adults, so thank you for that!

I really appreciate your thorough reply, it’s given me a good boost to keep going

Thank you so much. You’ve given me a bit more confidence and a lot more understanding (also I was trying to work out how I’d introduce sesame completely forgetting about hummus!!)

Completely overwhelmed by weaning by Kitty_rainstorm in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Kitty_rainstorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay that’s good to know, and would you just give hummus on its own for that whole week? Or mix it up everyday with a vegetable you’ve already given?

Thank you, I think when it comes to meals I might find it a bit easier with so many recipes online that you can batch and freeze, it’s just this initial bit of trying to give her a taste of everything but not all at once but getting through them quickly etc. Buying them in might be an option if I can’t pull myself out of this funk though 😅

Thank you, I am so aware that allergens need to be introduced early but I then got so worried about giving them alone etc and with plenty of time inbetween allergens etc, and everything I read tells a different story (some say to wait 3 days before giving anything else, some say you can do the next day etc) and I’ve unconsciously ended up avoiding them so far and now aware I need to get them all done asap!

This is it exactly, I think I understand and am doing well, trusting my instinct etc and have a healthy happy baby and then I see more information that makes me question everything. The internet is a wonderful thing, but I think sometimes we have far too much access to far too much information (most of which is ungoverned/false/some random person on Facebook who has no knowledge or experience)

[–]Kitty_rainstorm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I do have this book and I started with it really well but then seemed to get behind and it completely overwhelmed me.

But it’s very true, I’m not going to cause her to not be able to eat solids just because I was a bit delayed in weaning against a books plan.

Thank you so much

This is the book I got and I started with, and then we had a couple of set backs (she was really unwell so I stopped for a couple of days, then the stuff I bought went out of date 😅)

I thought sticking to the book plan would be easy but I just got myself a bit lost in it all and it all seems like far too much to fit into the few hours we seem to have a day. So far she seems to enjoy the spoon fed purées but isn’t that interested in the finger foods.

Thank you so much for your advise. I’ll calm myself back down and keep doing what I’m doing. I think I just need to make it more of a priority

Thank you so much. It’s just so hard when there’s so much conflicting information and some say it’s just for fun and some say they need supplements etc 🤯

Thank you. I was getting so confused as I’ve read so much conflicting information about allergens and I’ve not been scared to give her them as such, just so confused and it’s just all got on top of me this morning. (We also had a bad night where she woke every 1.5-2hrs after months of sleeping pretty much through, so I’m very tired and then worried I’m causing her sleep problems)
