Recently, I was experiencing a lot of pain on the inside of my right (strong hand) thumb. The pain got so bad, I began to worry about my full-time job as a police officer, being that it is my shooting hand.
I visited the hand specialist on Friday and was told I had a digital neuroma, aka, bowler's thumb, aka, nerve damage. I was told that there were NO shots, NO medications, NO anything to help this...so,
the doc suggested I not use the hand/thumb for two months. If the nerve is still affected, then I need to undergo surgery to actually move the nerve from that location.
I am real bummed out because I was looking forward to my first show as a vendor in October. Also, if I can find another way to hold the chisel other than gripping the handle as I usually do, then I can continue to turn. So far, I haven't figured it out.
is all I can say right now.
