Stiffness

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't straighten the fingers of my hand without a lot of stiffness and pain. Even now I can't really completely straighten it out without it hurting. But it is a lot better than what it was this morning. I couldn't really close them either. It hurt for me to make a fist. The worst one appears to be the middle finger joint. That is the one that gives me the most pain, even now. But as the day went on, I kept on trying to stretch out my fingers and forcing them to open and close. So now, towards the end of the day, I'm able to move them comfortable and have a reasonable range of motion without pain. Its only when I stretch them out completely or close my fingers into a fist that I feel any discomfort.

I think the stretching really helped throughout the day even though it hurt. Probably also my typing on a keyboard helped. I forced my fingers to move against the keys that they normally hit so they had to loosen up. I don't remember there being too much pain when I was first doing it. Uncomfortable yes, but over time it just got better and I didn't really notice it today.

The dark patch on my right breast is getting bigger and it almost appears like there are flaky bits coming, but I'm not too sure. Its not very big. I'm conflicted. I know that if I put some cream on it, it will go away, but then I also know that if I don't, it'll get bigger and then I can show the doctor. I have an appointment with my specialist in 2 weeks regardless and I think I need to show him what happens. Not just tell him like last time. That is what happened last time. Waited too long, put cream on it and then it was gone by the time I went to go see him.
