It's a "non stress test" and I am getting my fill of them.
I have to go twice a week, I am guessing because of the medication I was on- the lasiks (no not the eye surgery lasiks) but the diuretic. Well I'm not taking it anymore and they are still making me go. Boo.
I went back last week and got another steroid shot in my wrist. Wow. That's painful. But if anyone is reading this who has carpal tunnel pain due to pregnancy- go get the injection. It will change your life.
I was at a CPR class tonight (with Q as my partner- rad) and there were two women wearing those wrist splints, I felt their pain and promptly told them to go get a "fix". It's a quick fix, not a pain free one though- those injections are no joke. The needle is long and skinny and goes in your wrist, towards your palm and pokes you in a nerve- fills up with cortizone and then you are done. Except then there's the achy feeling for about 24 hours... then you're done but for only three months. It wears off and if you are still pregnant after the shot wears off, you go back for more- so that's what I did. But here I am, typing again. Carpal tunnel pain is no joke, it is life altering.
