The elbow thing I referred to earlier<\/a>? I thought I’d get some photos of how weird it looks in case anyone else had had this happen and wants to pass along any knowledge for me to chew on between now and the day I can actually get in to see an orthopedic doctor (my mom’s suggestion; she doesn’t think, based on my symptoms, that it sounds quite like carpal tunnel, even though that runs in our family and both my mom and dad have had both hands operated on). <\/p>\n

Check out this magnificently weird swelling action: <\/p>\n

I haven’t injured it in any way that I can recall. I have not, to my knowledge, wrestled anyone and done an elbow drop. It hasn’t been bruised or anything. But it’s getting progressively more uncomfortable (which could be just because now that I’ve noticed there’s a visible problem, I’m obsessing about it just a bit). Today as I was using my left hand to hold the phone to my ear while I typed with my right, I noticed my arm getting tingly and numb incredibly quickly. And now, even at rest, there are weird tingles and an odd sensitivity to my skin. Typing for long periods of time hurts. <\/p>\n

Something bad is happening in there. I’ll get it straightened out soon enough. I have to! My left arm is, like, my second favorite arm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
