It’s serendipitous when your medical people know each other, Nolan! Two of my oncology consultants: the surgeon who carried out my pancreatectomy and splenectomy last year, and the Chemotherapy ward consultant, were golfing buddies, working out of Hull and Grimsby hospitals respectively. The GP who began all the original scares after my initial Prostate troubles, sending me for MRI and CT scans in December ’17, had trained and worked under the Hull consultant before leaving medicine, then returning as a GP, part time, when her children grew older. And she is also a good friend of my teacher daughter: our granddaughter is a big pal of her daughter’s. They are in all the same classes at the local Grammar and last night I picked up said granddaughter from the GP’s house. Wheels within wheels! I have further scans on Tuesday next.
My rheumatoid has only very recently caused skin splitting in my LH middle finger. It began with an unusual pain at the finger end, similar to a paper cut. Now it is a small crack. In my left wrist I have had a ganglion for about 15 years. My GP advised me to have it drained only if it causes pain in my wrist and affects movement. Atm it has shrunk, although it was painful until about a month ago, when it began to shrink. The worst effect of my Rheumatoid is tremors in my hands, which are bad today. I hope they improve later, as it is my youngest grandson’s 21st party and I don’t want to chuck my meal all over the table!
I hope you find a solution to your present problems Nolan, you do have it rough lately. I followed your links, very interesting and I found a few matches to my own problems.
