I usually have pain everyday, but I ignore it most of the time. I was expecting a big flare up when I had my shoulder surgery and it didn't come. Usually a flare up means my hips, but today it is my hands, upper back and hips. At least it didn't hurt to walk today. Typing was slow and still is.
I am always afraid if I don't keep my hands moving I won't be able to move them again. I was piecing a quilt tonight and it was going okay until I realized that I needed to rip out some cornerstones because they did not line up correctly. I decided not to use the seam ripper because my favorite one is very small and hurt my hand to grip. I don't like my big one that is made for arthritic hands, so I gave up quilting for the night.
I hope this flare up does not last long. I am going to try taking a sleeping pill to see if a good night's rest will help.
Tomorrow is my busy day at work. I need my hands to cooperate.
