I hear you on the splints. They were a huge part of my childhood and I hated them with a burning passion. Just the memory of the clunky things that made me so uncomfortable makes me shudder. So... erm... sorry. No helpful hints.

Hi Christine,

I am an rheumatoid arthritis patient for over 20 years. I have worn occupational splints but I do not like them. I feel vunerable and unprotected when worn because I draw to much attention to my problem. I feel people are judgemental and will not understand what needs to be conveyed concerning my true health. No, I don't have carpal tunnel.. When worn at night it is very uncomfortable and I could not measure the relief that I received to be a significant benefit otherwise I would always wear them.

Hi,

Yes, I understand what you mean about people not understanding, either well-meaning or not. I know it can be difficult to negociate the line of how much you feel like talking about the RA and the splints and educating coworkers but at the same time wishing that people could just ignore the splints and see you and your work product instead. And I agree that splints can be uncomfortable at night. I hope at least that you feel like they give you some relief, strength or other comfort when you are able to tolerate them.

My best,

Christine

I am new to reading your blog. I am just curious to how often and how long you have been wearing the splints. At the specific chiropractic center we specialize in helping the body work the way it was meant to...often times we need to use splints and braces to get a patient over barriers. I wish you the best.

You are now talking health reform will be changed soon; we trust that Obama and his staff do what is necessary for the welfare of families. This reform must be appropriate because many families depend on it, the health system a long time that is weak and patients suffering from cancer, chronic fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's, diabetes, chronic pain, chronic anxiety among many other diseases, Need proper medical attention, according to the measure should be findrxonline for 80% of patients with these diseases.

I was not aware that vicodin can cause anxiety to be opioid narcotic controlled.

The splints are to determine the stiffness of the affected area, and there are anecdotes like when I dislocated the ankle, they put a plaster splint that I had for 9 weeks, and lower the pain gave me vicodin, I remember by Side effects are, but also remember that my friends and I signed the splint made many promises and so far I have it as a souvenir.
