I know that I've emailed people to ask what their reserve was, simply because I tend to push past my affordable max bid wondering if maybe I might just win the bear if I put a bit more money into it. Good thing I don't gamble bear_wacko My poor family would be starving. I wouldn't insult someone asking them if I can buy it if it didn't sell

AND, I've never asked (nor would I ask) anyone to end an auction for me. Geez, I mean that's like asking someone to take a loss on something considering you never know how high a auction may go.....

Ebay is an emotionally exhausting roller coaster ride at the best of times. It makes it even more frustrating when we add eccentric personalities in the mix (that's a kind way of describing some of the odd clientel on Ebay bear_happy )

I feel your frustration :hug:

I'd say just find out about long tern effects if you decided not to change your habits or give exercises a shot first.

:redface: :redface: :redface:

Ya.....that's a huge part of the problem.

The surgery works like a son of a gun.....but if you don't quit/change your habits.....well...... :redface: bear_whistle :redface: :redface:

Good point Daphne bear_tongue

Had it in both wrists. Diagnosed about 5 1/2 yrs ago. My doc isn't the kind of guy to fool around with stuff that might work but might not. So we didn't bother with braces or physio or anything else time consuming because I need to use my hands.

Bear in mind, they were both pretty bad...so that factored into the decision as well.

Got in for surgery about 4 months after I was diagnosed. I had both wrists operated on. Right wrist first, left wrist 2 weeks later.

It was quick, honestly, not all that painful. The MOST painful part was the needles in the palm to freeze the area BEFORE surgery. I was encouraged to start using my hand as quickly as possible, so I was pecking out keys on the computer the first day of surgery. Each one was healed within 2 weeks.

I would honestly recommend surgery to anyone who is suffering with it. Why suffer?

**as a side note....it can re-occur...it's uncommon but does happen. Because of the repetitive nature of what we do, I have to have my left wrist done again. However, I honestly think it's worth it. I had 5 yrs of perfect, pain free hands and re-occurance in only the one hand.
