Happened upon this “connect group” while researching Anastrozole, the drug that I have taken daily since completion of my radiation therapy. Until I read these comments I had zero idea why my hands, fingers, and wrists began hurting on and off on a regular basis. My initial thought was that I may have onset of arthritis that is sometimes common with aging or onset of carpel tunnel from years of computer mouse & keyboard use. The pain comes and goes in varying degrees. Sometimes it is so severe, I can’t even pick up a sewing needle with my thumb and index finger. I purchased a good quality thumb/wrist splint and used it for awhile on my right hand. Though it became cumbersome for constant use. I now use kinesiology tape (KT tape) occasionally for the support of my right thumb when working. While it is not a cure, it helps tremendously and is just the right amount of support for me. I don’t keep it in place longer than eight hours at a time. The adhesive can cause skin irritation if left in place for too many hours. I don’t use it daily. Though for the days that I need to reduce the pain, particularly in my right thumb, it helps tremendously. I cut the KT to a width and length that works best for me, and after some experimenting with the placement, I now know how and where to apply it for the best benefit and pain relief. You may want to consider speaking with a PT professional who knows more about using this type of tape, and learning the proper does and don’ts with its use. For me, its quick, easy, and helpful. I still plan to make an appointment with a board certified orthopaedic specialist to further check out my fingers, hands, and wrists, to eliminate other potential causes for the pain.
