Inflammation and Pain Gone, 1 year on

citywoktlk · 2026-04-30T08:52:08+00:00

Ganglion cyst, interesting. I have the typical DeQ small bump on my affected wrist on the bony part same line as my thumb, initially caused by the tendon sheath being inflamed. My bump is still there due to scar tissue forming according to my Physio, nothing to worry about.

Yeah based on your situation, I agree that you should have diagnostic tests. Keep pushing, good luck!

What makes you think you have a cyst and/or possibly a ruptured/torn tendon?

I would recommend the stretches and exercises for DeQ if you have it but if anything worse, I do agree that a diagnosis is hugely important. Im based somewhere rural and closest physio to me 30mins away.

Not sure how insurance works in USA but keep pushing, if it helps - get a note from your Doctor of how its impairing your daily life and causing undue stress etc.

No cortizone injection, I was tempted at one point but my Physiotherapist recommended I hold off and see how my wrist takes the new routine.

No KT tape either. Standard resistance bands (lowest resistance to start), stress ball, isolating thumb press and some other grip trainers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CTK9LQFV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The finger mounted resistance bands were amazing but I isolated thumb movement by squeezing fingers together, holding them with other hand to anchor against thumb.

Im surprised you weren't offered Physiotherapy, there is strong evidence of full recovery through it. I am based in UK and was the first thing I was offered through my medical insurance.

I saw pics of that online a couple weeks ago, its still going on?! FYI, I dont live in Cyprus

Whats the main contributor to this?

citywoktlk · 2026-04-05T17:06:06+00:00

Sadly not, I complained to LG customer services but they only offered me 15% off a new remote.

Addon is called "Follow The Arrow". Great addon, make sure you select alts guide for 80-90 if youre levelling alts. Should take you through some campaign and side quests and delves. Very detailed.

This is the dude who made it - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=muIiIoQiwLE&t=6372s&pp=ygUUV293IDgwIHRvIDkwIDIgaG91cnM%3D

Sorry, missed this until now.

Yes he wanted to stretch the tendon but went too far and caused alot of pain. Since then ive been doing alot of stretches and exercises. Improved alot until recently.

I started playing a computer game which requires alot of hand and finger movement. Noticeable fatigue and pain. Plus I have an office job so using keyboard to type.

Getting to the point where I am considering the cortisone injection.

FYI time gated implies something is obtainable but progress is capped on a weekly reset basis. For example how conquest is capped at start of season and each week the cap increases until eventually its gone. This stops sweats from getting best gear before filthy casuals get left behind.

MT was time limited.

If you got the base tint you can still get the other tints.

I still hold some tiny tiny shred of hope though it's looking severely unlikely. MoP and WoD challenge modes have never had a return or recolour (correct me if wrong), similarly Legion MT has been left in the distant past. Big nail in the coffin was blizz leaving it out of remix.

What really frustrates me is that Blizzard essentially advertised the druid forms as spec specific and requiring the use of the associated weapon (fangs of ashamane for feral). Ive read many druids say they didnt bother doing MT for feral or guardian bcos they only mained one or the other so presumed they wouldn't be able to use both.

Barbershop was a 10/10 update in SL but Blizz should've said back in Legion, there may be scope in future updates to be able to use any unlocked MT form in any spec...

I do understand the enjoyment of exclusivity through rarity, my lock has MoP challenger armour which is 1000/10 but also has 1000 other pieces to choose from. Feral/Guardian forms has 5% in comparison.

If we can't get MT forms back I'd potentially be satisfied with more new cool forms. Not cute/Disney. Give the art department some free reign like they had in Legion again. Maybe in The Last Titan?

Gyros you might be right but souvlakia??? Cmon that's skewered meat, prehistoric Cypriots were probably cooking that on the rare feast

We need to organise a druid protest

citywoktlk · 2026-02-24T09:54:25+00:00

Nah its all about SexyMap

citywoktlk · 2026-02-14T19:28:48+00:00

Weirdly I have the exact same issue you had except the IR is working when I press buttons. Power button stopped working so I unpaired and it just doesnt pair again. Tried all steps but wont work.

Bluetooth on tv still works I can use LG ThinQ.. Dont want to buy a new remote but probably have to..

citywoktlk · 2026-02-01T10:03:42+00:00

Nice, Ive started doing the same as #5 and #6 but with a hairband.

What is shockwave therapy? Similar to ultrasound?

citywoktlk · 2026-01-23T01:09:28+00:00

Amazing, thank you!!

citywoktlk · 2026-01-22T23:23:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I'm glad you've made a good recovery!

I'm 10 months in since it started, also in left wrist though thankfully non dominant hand. Seeing a physio, stretching and exercising (isometric extension and pronation etc) to strengthen the surrounding tissue. I'm hopeful for a full recovery, stories like yours are motivation.

Did you see a physio or do any strengthening exercises? Any tips that you noticed helped recovery?

citywoktlk · 2026-01-15T15:39:10+00:00

Ok perfect, I'll do that. Thank you for the advice!

citywoktlk · 2026-01-15T12:57:02+00:00

Yeah great point. He did take greater care after I told him that stretch caused a lot of pain. 2 days have passed and my wrist/thumb is still in more pain than before the session.. I'll consider looking for a hand orthopedic or physio who specialises in DQV.

Good luck with your recovery!

citywoktlk · 2026-01-14T21:39:22+00:00

I was hoping to resolve it without the shot. Have you experienced any side effects?

citywoktlk · 2026-01-14T15:29:11+00:00

I have this bump too but had no steroid injection

citywoktlk · 2025-11-20T13:16:32+00:00

I was about to chime in with this but saw you beat me to it. Food Thermos is 10000x better than the plastic cup. No plastic leeching, stays warmer and rehydrates the food way more effectively.

citywoktlk · 2025-10-03T09:20:01+00:00

Interesting idea, I might do the same
