Message to a young HMSA member...we wont name him because he will hate it! You are an amazing person with a wicked sense of humour. .With lots of friends and family who love you to bits. We know you are in a lot of pain at the moment and we want to help. Everyone can send you ideas to manage the next hour..the day or weekend but it will get better. 1) First stabilise your thumb, it feels weird wearing your thumb splint because it is putting it in a non-bendy position. ..that feels wrong because we normally hold our thumbs in the wrong position 2) rest your hand 3) take your pain meds..remember that it takes a while to work 4) use ice if its swollen or if its not you could use a wheat bag if you prefer 5) remember that this pain is because you have hurt it...as it heals it will reduce the pain 6) remember what we taught you about relaxation and breathing. ..focus on that for half an hour 7) distraction! Beat your mum at a game or watch a movie 8) chocolates! Lots of them!!! You will get through this hun....and we know you can...its not fair that you suffer pain like this but remember you are not alone and we are so proud of you. X
