Just want to inform all of recent toon change.

Desirez is who I started with out with AH. I am now playing my monk. I've been gone from raiding, and actually recently came back to the game. First of this year I had some Surgery done ( carpatunnel) and it kept me from vertually playing, just learning the use of hand ,finger, muscle , elbow movement took me a month or so, rehabilitation was rougher then I ever thought it could of been.

After my rehabilitation, I had some work status issues, then girlfriend problems. still don't have a job, but the tough, rough parts are behind me in coparesion.I had come back to EQ now with a much different approach, and this has come to the toon switch, sometimes people just seem not attached to the class/role and further.


But, I'm back now, will try my best to make raids,help,and be apart of the team once more.

I would like to thank the leaders for giving me this chance also to come back .

Thank you all for your time, Deophi aka Cory

Howdy...


Oh carpal tunnel surgery , I'm going in tomorrow to ask the doctors about that, my first bout was back in May and then again in October and it is still hurting...

[Deophi]

aye Darby,


I still get issues from it, every so often it seems to come back, colder days very much affect it.Was told my first cold cold winter would be painful,But its allot better then it was before Surgery.

bad thing about Carpal tunnel is, it doesn't just effect finger joints,wrist. I had it run all the way up my arm to my shoulder blades, and neck.


I doubt they can ever treat/fix things like this permanent, heh and the cortisone shots and pills only covers the issue up.


Hopefully, the doctor has good news for you.

See you on raids Darby

Yep, thats exactly what I've had...at its worst all of October I was hunched over and had to physically move my body to look up to talk to someone...right now its concentrated just in the wrist, forearm, and elbow. Icyhot and (believe it or not Vicks vapor rub) help relieve the pain. I had issues trying to use crutches with this, so Thanksgiving I gave up using them. Ive been good wearing my wrist brace at night (for the last week) it helps but in the time it took to type half of this message the wrist and forearm are begining to hurt =/

And Kaiser just cancelled my appointment this morning...

/sigh

good luck to you too

the wrist bracers are very good. specially at night, majority of people while sleeping bend there hands down while sleeping. figure in 8 hours( average sleep) would put a burden on them without the bracer.
