Well, yesterday was a follow-up on last month's visit; confirming that my thyroid wasn't working properly....WAY low. So he prescribed some pills to correct the defficientcy. While I was there I had the nurse check my hand; my ring-finger keeps "locking up" and you can see and feel the tendon in my hand. Seems that it's not uncommon in men from 50-60 and later. So, another follow up visit next month and POSSIBLE hand surgery in the future. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
