I look forward to learning about your exercise routine, hopefully with demos!

It's not backwards. It's perfectly redeable.

This is an interesting product. However, it is made with animal products (and does not say it is GMO-free) . Have you explored a vegetarian option?

thank you. I am physically exhausted and disabled from having osteoporosis. long story including a false and lazy dx of dementia. just absolute ignorance on the part of the medical professionals I visited. not excited about any supplements, another long story. I too am young.

Welcome back! I'm definitely interested in osteoporosis content & what you're doing about calcium. I also have 0% calcium build up, and was considering taking calcium supplements. I'm so glad that you have recovered from each of your covid infections - I wish there was some way to know who will be fine & who will get LC. I still use your Readimask discount code :)

Hi Sandy! Good to see you! I think it would be great for you to get back into doing videos and discussions. I learned a lot from you and the group during Covid so I anticipate that I will learn from any topic you choose to discuss. I recently got diagnosed with osteoporosis as well and want to address it as naturally as possible too so that would definitely be a topic of interest for me. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!

As a new RUclips creator, I am working to find my niche. You bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to this platform and with that, you will find your audience here (maybe in unexpected ways). Looking forward to the new content.

Any and all topics are welcome from you, dear Sandy!

I thought about you here and then and wondered how you are. Mazal tov to the wedding of your daughter. I'm interested in osteoporosis as my bones are with bone metastases as de novo metastatic breast cancer patient and having to stop my bone medication if Xgeva. I'm not interested in Covid any more and have my nurnsk life back for quite a while now with Enovid still accimpanying me. I'm also interested, what you're doing in your sabbatical. I'm alri sure, that we both fear a lot about Israel, but I'm not discussing that here. Sending big you all my love from Vienna, Sabine Shoshanah Spitz❤

I wondered where you disappeared to ! It’s great to see you . Many of the challenges you are facing is what so many of us are struggling with as we journey into our 60s and beyond so your content is relevant and your suggestions are helpful. I watched all your CMC videos, just had mine done 8 days ago. Did you have more pain after the first few days? That’s what I’m noticing. It’s weird. Also, I got rid of all my black plastic kitchen utensils etc after watching you. So please stick around!

Hi, Sandy. Good to see you again. We connected over Covid and we continued to mostly agree and we stayed connected when you lessened your behavioral precautions. My life events are taking me away from YT, so you may not see much interaction from me. I am remaining a subscriber. Stay healthy!

Hello, nice to see you. I am still waiting for a talk about kitchen pans, and now what about those black items we are not supposed to use in the kitchen. Osteoporosis and how to handle it is of interest, plus numerous other topics that could be done. As for Covid, your advice was so timely, and I learned a lot to protect myself. I am very appreciative of how hard you worked on that. But then I got a life, and I don’t feel threatened at this time. I also receive a newsletter from a reputable epidemiologist who gives that latest about what communicable diseases to watch out for, and which are very low at the time. All in all I have moved on.

Good to see you Sandy! I too was diagnosed with osteoporosis recently and I was shocked. I have been athletic all my life and have an athletic build, not petite or small boned. I don’t run anymore, but I lift weights, walk for exercise, and eat a very balanced diet (basically mediterranean). I also take supplements to maintain an optimal vitamin d level. My Dexa Scan results suggested I go on a Bisphosphonate drug, which I refuse to do. Fosamax led to my mother’s death. I would love to hear the holistic approaches you are taking.

Hi Sandy. I had CMC surgery four weeks ago and your videos were very helpful .

Hi Sandy. Good to see you 😊 Definitely interested especially re knees and hips. I hope you will find time to give us your opinions. 🙏

I cant ear mascara at all

This was a very painful procedure! Fifth day from surgery and pain a bit better. Will think hard before I do the other hand.

Hi Sandy. My surgery was 6 days ago. After viewing your posts multiple times, I was not concerned about the procedure and knew the result was worth the effort. My only concern was the plane ride home. When I informed the doctor, she set me up for a flawless experience. They gave me a 5-day nerve block. It was removed yesterday. Honestly, I expected to wake up to a world of pain, but I have no pain at all. I am so indebted to those doctors and nurses. They were amazing. Next week the stitches come out and I get a cast. When the other hand is done, I'll agree to the nerve block. It sure is a learning curve to have it attached to you, since your arm has no feeling and seems to lost in space. It was worth it for me. Again, I was blessed to find your site and sincerely appreciate your thoughtful and generous posts to help us get past this hurdle. Thank you so much. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Lipiflow was $700 per eye in my opthamologist - $1400 for both

Ice is definitely your friend when reducing pain. Although it also cuts the swelling, the absence of pain allows quicker healing. At least that’s what I’ve concluded.

I chose to sleep on the couch instead of the bed because I’m a side sleeper. I could prop my arm up against the side of the couch while I slept. It worked pretty well. My husband missed me in bed, but he didn’t want me in pain.

I'm only 3 days since the surgery. I can't take narcotics so only tylenol and ibuprofen. I'm not in any pain now but I continue those meds to keep fevef and swelling down. In a week I get the removable splint. From there we will see.

Thank you so much for all your posts. I have found your advice so helpful. Unfortunately I am 3 months post op and not doing well. In one of your videos you talked about having pain in that joint near your index finger and I am having a lot of pain in that area and was just curious what your surgeon said that was. I had the pin and cast for 6 weeks and I feel like it's where that pin was even though it's been over a month since the pin was removed.

I had my surgery 11.08.24 and was almost exactly the steps with the soft cast and now the hard cast, but my hard cast is digging into the back of my hand and creating a lot of discomfort. My question is about the thumb joint being able to move or not; it was my understanding that has to remain immobilized in order to heal properly, is this true or is it okay for this to move? I am able to do almost everything and sometimes it seems like too much. I have it checked out tomorrow, any questions I should be asking the doctor?

I did a lot of planks!

Salt massage is ecstacy!

I exercised my arm, fingers, wrist and shlds prior to surgery and got everything nice and strong. I developed some very minor dupitrons contacture post op, but ROM is still good. I tried to learn to write left handed and it looked like a first grader's...I'm up to middle school now and still pre op.😅

I must have ice! I'm gonna ask surgeon to ice it prior to wrapping and then wrapping another really. frozen pack for ride home. And icing fingers is effective in pain relief. There is not much harm by over icing bc it thaws out fast. Also used canabis tincture sublingualy and get very good pain relief with it. It reduces my body tension that the pain triggers (and just makes pain worse). Im able to be sort of in pain but still happy and not so dramatically in pain. Talking to my thumb helps the pain as well. My thumb turns into this separate being that I can talk to and nurture...It only works if you're sincere and not doing it for laughs. I am able to separate from the pain this way...try it!

It's not only very uncomfortable and even painful sometimes sleeping with a big hard tight arm cast, but I'm also very afraid of furtherly damaging my two fractured wrist bones the Colles and the Lunar and one or more is slightly broken into several peices, I'm really afraid that in a deep sleep I can turn positions as I usually do and that this can move the bones too much out of alignment again.

What about freezer and storage bags that just close together that aren't ziplock?

Thank you for this video. I am considering it. but oh gosh, not being able to get dressed make up for work etc.. and of course the pain is what is scary for me

you havent mentioned nor shown the forearm incisions. did you have pain there when using the arm?

Its been 4 wks since my surgery. I still have a lot of pain, including in my forearm where the tendon was cut. The surgeon also cut under the thumb in the crease to reposition the overextension of the thumb. idk why, it didnt bother me. the incisions arent even close to being healed shut and extremely sore to touch. Yet i see you massaging your hands where your incisions dont show at all, and you dont have pain. Did you have any pain in the forearm tendon?? Maybe i injured mine? Its been very hard living alone having to find ways to do everything around house trying to use only one hand, with no help and take care of all my cats too. Oh, and my forearm seems a little disfigured, flatter, without as much structure of tendon ... skin hangs flabby, wrinkled like an old person.

I just had this surgery thank you for being so informative! I am still in the throbbing pain phase since I just had the surgery ouch ! Anyhow, thank you again ! Sandy, that’s my name lol

Wish I had never had mine touched. It’s only been 2 weeks and I’m sick of the cast and the lack of use and the pain !

Thank you for your indept comments and your experience that you went thru. The other day my hand surgeon chose to inject my thumb joint and he said that it should take a few weeks to see any results. He said if this doesn't help the next step is to inject a chemical into my thumb joint and burn the nerves to alleviate the pain, he said sometimes this procedures works and sometimes it doesn't. Which brings me to he final opinion. He said that I would need to have the exact CMC surgery that you went thru. I am afraid of the surgery, because I am not sure how I can do things for myself, such as showering, washing my hair and doing light chores such as washing/folding laundry. I am a baby when it comes to pain and I cannot take any narcotics for pain, because of certain meds RXs that I take and some narcotics such as codine cause me to vomit. I do well on extra strength Tylenol, but I know that it will not help with the pain that you've described. I am sure that there are other RX pain meds that I can be given. Bottom line is that I am a man and I admit that I cannot take any excruciating pain. Is there anything that you can tell me that would help me in my decision making or ease my mind? I wish you well and much continued success on your next CMC surgery. Thank you and God bless you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Got my gloves a few days ago and watched your video today. I have developed trigger finger on my right hand and splints won’t stay put. I don’t know why these work, but they do! I am wearing the bamboo gloves, also small like you, which shocked me. I was certain I was going to regret ordering the small. But, I followed their chart and they fit well - not tight in the least. Thank you for your thorough review, even though I watched it after the fact.

Appreciate your input, I had my left hand done in April and your tips were huge! The Ice and the foam OT block was really helpful. Recovery has been amazing was able to play my drums and guitar within 60 days. The week of thanksgiving I’m getting my right hand done. It’s weird but my pain level in right hand dropped a bit over the last 6 months. However, my mom had this done 30 years ago and it only gets worse so I am definitely getting done since I am going to retire in two years and don’t want to take a chance for the future!

I am so blessed to have found your CMC reviews for my upcoming surgery. I have been preparing for my recovery by purchasing clothes that will be easier to put on with one hand as well as the splint covers, etc. Most significantly, I recognize how important my management of pain will be in the early phase of recovery. Years ago, I rejected the suggested spinal fusion for a disc at C5-C6 and opted for the Philadelphia collar. I wore the collar for six month and was on a steady regimen of pain medication. It was an awful experience, but I am thankful for the experience as my disc finally moved back into position and I now have full movement of my neck again. Simply knowing that my wrist will be weak and compromised when the cast is removed was a major alert for me. I most certainly will work hard to get my pain under control and deal with the pain. I had to smile when you recommended on a way to channel the brain's obsessive desire to focus on only one thing. Yes, hot water then cold water will be a wake up for the brain to deal with the pain in a more constructive way. In the same vain, years ago I had an infection on my scalp when a doctor messed up a simple procedure to remove a pilar cyst. It became infected and I was in terrible pain. One day my sister suggested we have some tea. She inadvertently spilled boiling hot water on my leg. What an enlightening moment! My brain stopped focusing on my head for the first time in weeks, because there was a crisis elsewhere. Honestly, I learned that if you can change the singular focus of one issue, the nerves have a chance to make gains without the unnecessary drama of the same screaming pain day after day. Thank you so much for generous insight of how to approach this procedure in a constructive and productive way. You are a super star!!!

I am almost 3 weeks in my splint. I have pain and I don't know if I pulled or pushed or picked anything up to cause it to still have a little redness and looks swollen or bumping around the incision. The incision is fine and beautiful. I am concerned about how it looks. Is it something I need to talk to the PA about or has anyone had the same problem

I’m on day five lots of pain curious what they gave for pain medication. I was given a low dose of hydrocodone, doesn’t do much to relieve pain.

I got the tightrope on my dominant hand it’s day two and the pain is unbearable

Thank you for this explanation! In 2024 dificid is $8,000! 😵‍💫

I have received three injections in both wrists. The last injection only lasted about a month and half. I am in a lot more pain and my left side is also hurting more. I have an appointment Tuesday to talk about surgery. I am wondering if you had a tendon removed from your arm and put in the wrist? It creeps me out removing a tendon don't I need that tendon? Is it painful where they take the tendon from after surgery? How much pain were you in after surgery the 2nd day?

Thank you 1 1/2/ weeks post op

I’m having the suture button suspensionplasty. Same result but less down time. Plus Toradol in conjunction with a narcotic would control pain much better and short term use is not a hindrance to healing. Thanks for your video.

Thank you very much for the information. Best regards from Istanbul, Turkey

I am really angry.. I went to get a tetanus shot because I AM PREGNANT AND TGE DOKTOR WENT TO GABE ME A SHOT ON MY UPPER SHOULDER😢😢😢😢😢 ... I am in Philippines amd nobody even here talk about SIRVA. Its really frustrating. Now I dont even know how to take care of my bay ones he was born because of my shoulder pain and doktors here obviously just DISMISS WHATEVER I AM FEELING. All I wantwd now is for at least somebody to upload a home exercise video for SIRVA that can help me in a long run

Good morning. Tomorrow will be 6 weeks post op of thumb cmc tendon transfer on my right hand, dominant one. Your video I just watched was so helpful. I have watched many of the and I can’t thank you enough. I’m going to get the little brush and foam ball today. Can you please tell me if you were very tired at 6 weeks post op. Occupational therapy its normal, that I’m still healing. I’m having a hard time because I’m so limited with this being dominant hand. A number of times I’ve grabbed things with my surgery hand with and without my brace on, but my Doctor whom I saw yesterday said I’m healing well. Thank you so much for your videos 🥰 Susie
