Getting out of that swimsuit can be torture when my hands are hurting (like today). I’ve wondered what would happen if I got it stuck around my face and called out for help! Or maybe scissors ??? Yes, I know I can wear something looser, not even a real swimsuit. But I still have enough pride to want to look as normal as possible. I wear a two piece with a swim skort. Even that is painful when my hands hurt like this.
I belong to a wellness center with an indoor pool, so can swim twice a week year-round. I honestly can’t handle the whole experience (spandex, lane-sharing, chilly locker room, spartan shower) more than that. And that’s okay.

There are maillot one-piece swimsuits from Swim and Sweat with front zippers. I have feet leg and hand neuropathy, and this makes getting in and out of my bathing suit easier. So glad for your access to a pool. I look forward to my weekly Aquatherapy, and plan to return to my aquacize class more often.

Hi
I have only 1 hand that hurts with nerve pain. Began around 7 years ago in my index finger. Then spread to whole hand.
I can't imagine having this pain in both hands. If it was a foot I wouldn't be walking. I'm still looking for for why. Just had a thoracic MRI this morning. Already had head and cervical MRI'S. I am not diabetic and always ate whole foods. I certainly have empathy for you.
