[Betsy50]

Hi folks just a wee update. I got the scan on my hands which has verified I have osteoarthritis along with fibromyalgia. The scan showed bones out of shape fluid and a bone spur at my wrist wrist that I had fractured and waiting on operation it also still shows I have de quervains tenosynovitis I wasnt awre there is a bone spur so I will be calling surgeons secretary tmz I haven't a clue how long I will wait for operation. Not been given any pain relief for this as of yet but the duloxitine is reducing the stingy feeling in my toes so I'm going upto 60mg dose this week. Hope you are all well take care of yourselves
