At work, my hands were starting to seize up when using a mouse. I had a right handed mouse and when that hand hurt too much, I would witch over to my left handed mouse. I will go back-and-forth all day long. I couldn’t type like I used to and ended up pecking at the keys. On Monday, my hands would hurt but I could still move them. By Wednesday, I was super tired and by the end of Friday my hands hurt so much I couldn’t really move them.
Around March 2022, I started having trouble holding a pen and my penmanship was getting sloppy. I would go back through any notes I took that day to make sure I could read them. I was also experiencing writers cramp.
We were increasing the amount of Botox for my hands and wrists. The muscles are harder to isolate for each individual finger, which takes a lot more poking and prodding. My injections were now taking about an hour starting from head all the way to toes.
