Yes, the title is said with a bit of sarcasm.
I've been in incredible pain with my arms and hands. I had to go today for testing, best outcome would have been carpal tunnel and surgery. Worst outcome, something that can't be fixed.
I have a degenerative muscle issue in my arms. Can't be fixed. It's just going to get worse and the pain will also get worse. I currently have problems with dropping things, my fingers joints swell and the pain on most days is about a 7.
There is absolutely nothing they can do except to see if physio might help a little. So, not sure what I do now. The diagnosis I think hasn't sunk in yet and I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with it. I think knowing that eventually I will have to give up photography is what hurts the most. It's been my therapy for years and one of the things that helped when the bipolar was at it's worst. Incredibly sad at the moment and the diagnosis really shocked me. So not what I was expecting.
Any prayers/positive thoughts, funny jokes would be much appreciated at the moment.
