Bruised Finger - People

I love the outdoors! I run almost everyday and am training for my first Triathlon, Wildflower...but I don't own a bike yet....yeah, have to get on that. I have completed two marathons, so I have my fingers crossed for this next challenge.

Somewhere around November 18th or 19th of 2007, I started feeling what I thought were Carpal Tunnel symptoms in my right hand. The symptoms included: tingling of my fingers, numbness, and I was having trouble typing. I went out and bought wrist guards, and things designed to help CT patients. The symptoms continued for about two weeks and I promised I?d visit the doctor after Thanksgiving....

My goal is to push my limits (physical, emotional, mental) and encourage others to do the same. At age 17 I was devastated with the diagnosis of a rare disease called Friedreich's ataxia (FA). What the heck is Friedreich's ataxia and what would it mean to me for the rest of my life? Over the next couple years my family and I found out that FA is a progressive neuromuscular disease that...

I am quite healthy except for 1 finger having arthritis. No cure found yet, would love to hear your feedback how to treat arthritis fingers.

I've always been a sucker for trying new things. (Late night infomercials are my kryptonite!) And, being the kind of person who can gain five pounds just smelling pizza and lose five pounds by dropping cheese for a week, I often apply this "What can I try next?" mentality to diet and exercise. My weight has fluctuated over the years. I played sports but I ate a good amount of McDonalds. I knew...

I am Tongan and apparently that's hard for many to believe because my people are big- I'm working on that. I have a huge family that i love to pieces and which everyone is jealous of. We are a very athletic and active family- we used to have family funday sundays at the track followed by tennis. I have more TRUE best friends than i can count on one hand and for which i am so blessed- sisters...

Not Diagnosed, I suffer from cold hands when working at the computer. My right hand, the mouse hand, gets numb. My finger tips freeze! I have a blog located at http://www.ColdHands.me. I am a member of the AOTA (American Occupational Therapy Association) and research ways to keep hands warm at work. My favorite thing to do is find things that warm up! I am a computer geek and spend about...

I am a native/resident Washingtonian who has a strong dedication to family and value friendships, recognizing them both to be priceless blessings.My background in the health care field spans over thirty years, working twenty years in the field of HIV/AIDS. Following the separation from my long term employment in September 2008, I yielded to my calling to turn the focus from helping the sick to...

I am a 62 yr old woman who is having sevier pain in almost all of my joints, along with headaches. I have a condition called HypOparathyroidism, which usually happens within 2years after having your thriod removed, but it has been about 30 years since I had mine removed. Because of this, my vitiam level is VERY low and my phrophas is very high. Withih the last few months I have developed sevier...
