Best of luck in Boston! I hope your hand improves soon; I've heard that amytriptyline can be very helpful. (Remember that it can cause sun-sensitivity) It definitely doesn't sound like you've been having much fun with that hand at all; then to burn your other wrist, ouch! I knew something was missing on the forum (you!) but I couldn't quite place wha...
