Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Tonight I had a serious confrontation between my hand and a very sharp knife.  I opened the drawer  in my kitchen never noticed that someone had put one of my very sharp Henkel Knives blade side up. I put my hand baby finger ring finger side full force on the blade and cut myself quite badly ending up with 4 stitches in my hand. Over the course of the past few weeks I have lost more and more feeling in that side of my hand. I have noticed that fine motor skills are weaker, I can't hold change in my hand or it slides out.  Gripping things  also has become difficult. The Dr I saw at the clinic seems to think the nerves are compressed which of course causes the nueropathy, the compression also is likely because of the Lymphodema in my arm which exacerbates the problem more. I do have the sleeve & glove now but wearing the glove constricts my hand so you are caught between a rock and a hard place. I could feel the Deterioration in my hand getting worse but to not able to sense anything like the blade of a knife was very scarey. Some times my two fingers lock, I have to physically manipulate them to put them back into place.
He did put a name to it saying he believes it could be   Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. That I should see a specialist that hand issues are his/her speciality.  Most definitely. He went on to say cutting my hand as I did was an eye opner of what can happen if left untreated...It seems to be a common problem with those who have diabetes. I had all the tests and that was fine. Chemotherapy primarily Taxitore leaving long term side effects.

Later today our dear friend Daria will be put to her final rest. So many wonderful things have been said about her. Her continuous effort to educate people. Most of all her humanity..

Daria, May You Rest In Etennal Peace......
