argh!!i got a swollen thumb..luckily its my left hand..if not i'll have a terrible time doing stuffs..now that i'm left with my right hand to do stuffs,i realise that i cant do without my left..it hurts so much that i cant do much.eg,i cant cut my nails without help,i cant carry heavy things,i cant take my wallet in a hand and take out money with e other,i cant play lotsa instruments..SAD!think this prob with my hand started a long time ago,just that i ignored it.if i'm not wrong,it all happened cos i play guitar..i press my thumb hard to e neck so i can hold my chords well and it hurts after that.initially i thought it was just some problems getting used to e guitar but realised that other guitarists dun have this prob..it kinda got worse recently when i couldn bend my thumb fully.den realised that it was swollen!so went to see this chinese sinseh at chin swee rd(he's a very good chinese physician) and i 'steamed' my hands and he pulled my thumb.its wrapped in some chinese herbs(smells like kaya) and it hurts!!
