Had my ortho consult a few day ago. Survey says.... DeQuervain's Tendinitis.
She kept using words like "common," "classic" and "textbook." Suits me just fine, would hate to have something wierd and hard to treat.
So my current 'goes with everything' accessory of the moment is this sexy little number...
They sent me for a few weeks of PT (which is cool because I get to see awesome PT Chris again). I'm allowed to run and swim but have to stay off the racing bike for at least a month. I can ride the upright hybrid bike and do modified (i.e. don't use that hand) yoga.
All in all, it's looking like the embarrassment of explaining the injury (it appears the baby's head compressing my wrist when I nurse on that side caused the inflammation) is going to end up being worse than the injury itself. I can live with that.

Doesn't sound dumb to me at all, how would you know that might cause injury? Hope you're recovered soon. Oh, and I love the pool picture!
Wait...does that mean you got an *injury* from your *boob*???
Just wanted to be sure I got that one right.
(wink)
Have you tried one of those big triangle pillows for nursing? Friends of mine swear by them.
Good news it's pretty simple to treat :)
Hey, what about aero bars on your road bike? (new injury = new toys - can that be bad?)
I use the My Brest Friend pillow. Sometimes on a good day I don't even need to hold him under his head. On a bad day, I once found after finishing nursing that he had a big zipper imprint on his face (since I wear a lot of hoodies)!
There's only one thing to do... teach WH to breastfeed!
HAWT! Nice wrist-wrap!
Good luck!
Oh, I have one of those! They're just the accessory to have these days.
