Knitter Down

I'm not quite sure what caused that bump on my outer wrist, but it's there and it hurts like hell. See how it's really white compared to the rest of the wrist? That's because the swelling has made the skin extra taught.

I can't close my hand to hold a knitting needle. Looks like I'll be taking a few days off of knitting.

Knit a row for me, will ya?

Get thee to a doctor!

Chris said:

Oh no!! Go to a doctor and find out what's up.

Ann said:

Yikes! You should go see someone about that. Hope it improves soon!

Luise said:

I trust you've had it x-rayed. Don't mess around with a wrist (from one who broke hers years ago).

aimee said:

the same thing happened to me over the holidays. Ice packs and weekly visits to a massage therapist (who spent the entire hour on my forearm doing accupressure) are the only things that fixed it. Oh and lots of stretching. Good luck!

Christie said:

OUCH! I agree with you getting to the MD, STAT!!!

michelle said:

ouch! Yes, I would definitely get that looked at and take it easy for a bit. Will happily knit a row for you, shoot I may even knit two :)

Carolyn said:

Yeah that's no good. Oh, and yes, you are correct...I made the biggest mistake ever. I have seriously lost my mind because I NEVER noticed until you said so. Thanks...tonight I feel like hanging up the needles...maybe tomorrow I will look at it differently;)

Kristy said:

Oh no! I'm so sorry :( I'll knit another row just for you.

scout said:

Yikes! I hope it goes away soon.

Karma said:

Oh NO! You poor thing. I hope you aren't too severely injured. Do you think it's time to go see a doctor?

Jessica said:

It's probably a ganglion cyst. The swelling should go down in a few days.

Dani said:

Ouch! Go see a physio/doctor/massage therapist about that ASAP! Don't mess with your wrists, they are important!

Liz K. said:

Eeek! Here's wishing you a speedy recovery!

yaiAnn said:

OMG! Rest up, maybe grab some ice, but definitely go to a doctor!

gleek said:

yikes.. i'll try and knit a row for you! with my sausage-like pregnancy fingers, it's getting hard to do such things nowadays though. i feel your pain.

margaux said:

ouch. ice!! hope you can knit soon!

margene said:

Looks like a break is needed! Maybe ice and physical therapy, too!!

Marnie said:

Eeesh, terrible. You'll have to let us know what the doctor says, if you go. Hopefully it'll pass quickly.

ouch! looks like it might be a wrist ganglion cyst - my former roommate, a massage therapist, would get them when he worked his hands too much... you're not knitting too much, are you?! *wink*

Cathi said:

Hope you feel better soon!

Julia said:

That looks ouchie. I agree with others, get it massaged and/or acupressured. It looks like a nerve bundle or muscle cramp that needs to get smoothed out.

Cambria W said:

Crap! Well, I'll put on in for ya. If I can get off this darn computer, I might even finish a pair of socks for you.

vanessa said:

ouch! sending healing juju your way!

Theresa said:

Looks like a ganglion cyst. It's on the tendon, so exacerbated by overuse. Rest, ice, Motrin. It can be surgically removed later if you need.

isel said:

Oh no!! That doesn't look good. I hope you feel better soon.

jacqueline said:

oh no...you poor thing! i am sending you good wishes.

and i might even manage to send that email i owe you too!

Good afternoon. I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.
