so... i'm finding that the more (albeit little) i try to use my fingers/hand/apendage in any sort of way (other than completely immobile decoration/notice to the masses of my defeat!) the more it throbbing aches!
the most annoying part of it is that it's not necessarily an immediate reaction/response. duh, t'wer that the case i'd do it less oft/stop immediately! but, no! it get all twingey, sharp pains flash through my finger... in waves afterwards!
so i'm on an uber ice/freeze kick: any jostling, movement; immediately the hand is placed on total ice pack, until well beyond numbness.... yeah... that's what's "working", for now!
