My son had his sports banquet for fall sports last night. It took 2 and 1/2 and i had such a bad night and morning this morning from all the clapping that was involved. I was careful but I was in a lot of pain this morning. Anyone dealt with this.

 

Yes, and I am so sorry.  You need to take it easy, and do some stretching with your hands, just stretch out and then try to make a fist.  Right now my fist is pathetic, but who cares! 

Take it easy today, and get some more rest!

Aww! I'm glad you were able to make it to the banquet, but I'm sorry you're in pain. Get yourself plenty of rest and try putting some heat on your hands or soak in a hot Epsom salt bath.

When I know that we're going to be doing something special in the evening, I make sure I'm not super active during the day. I try to keep things to a minimum. I also medicate myself before we go. It helps some, but I usually end up hurting by the time we get home anyways. It's the nature of the beast.  

Hi KK, yes it is so difficult to keep up with obligations and we feel guilty if we don't do it.  Eventually you will decide what you can and can't do, but in the meantime you will suffer a little.  Gosh life is hard isn't it?  

KK, sorry you're feeling so poorly today.  Take it wasy, you'll feek better soon
