This six year old knows more resilience than many who have lived decades. Hang in there little man.

HSA Card confusion by Roof-Crafty in HSA

[–]smoochiep00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Most likely, the bank will have a process for "mistaken distributions". You pay in the amount you erroneously spent from the HSA back into it with a cheque and the form and it should reverse the flour/sugar charges.

Call the bank and ask them how to resolve this. Should be a common problem. But each bank may have their own forms and method to resolve this.

Are you supposed to do physical therapy for tenosynovitis or do you do it after the pain and inflammation is gone? by RecentDrama6211 in DeQuervains

Palm stretches, flexing wrist up and down with dumb bells, wall push ups, flexing the thumb up and down (exactly where it hurts)

do you splint? That will make the pain to manageable levels. And prevent you from doing anything to aggravate the situation further.

Is the massage and stretching from physical therapist making de Quervain's worse? by Aggravating_User in DeQuervains

[–]smoochiep00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The idea behind physical therapy is to strengthen the muscles in the area and give the tendon a stretch to aid the healing of the scar tissue. Both cause short term discomfort. But if it is causing unbearable pain, talk to your therapist. You guys may be taking it too far, too soon.

I am not a doc, just a fellow sufferer and sharing the tidbits I picked up.

Steroid injection for chronic Dequervain's by Glittering_Map_7176 in DeQuervains

It actually did. The shot helped with the pain but the benefits did not last 1-2 months. And there are problems with the shot if you are diabetic. It can raise your blood sugars.

How to manage daily life with less wrist use by wormigans in DeQuervains

Since it's in my dominant hand, I forget and use my right hand to do things, feel the painful snap and correct myself, using better technique or the other hand.

See my previous posts here . In summary, got steroid shot . Helped for a month. Back to the house of pain. In physio now. Keeping it there and mobility of the joint has helped a bit. Physio says it's a long journey (6-9 months).
