I did go and see the specialist on Saturday and to be honest he did not tell me much that I didn't already know. First I was told a string of Latin terms which I think means that I have inflamed the tendons joining my thumb to my hand duh! In addition to this, I was told that at times this condition affects the wrist as well ( I know that already cause I feel the pain in my wrist).
The specialist gave me 2 options ie to either take a steroid injection which is a quick fix ( my GP had already told me this) or to do some exercise until the pain goes away. Since I am not a very patient person, I chose the easy option! I have a graduation to go to in January and I need to look fly ;-)
I was then told that if I chose option A, I will need to re-book to get the injection as the practice I was in did not have any steroid injections :(. Don't we all just love the NHS? So my appointment is on the 29th of November and until then I can't do any exercise (deep sigh). Well lets look on the bright side, I have a legal/genuine reason to take steroids hehehehe.
Until then I guess I'm just going to have to read up on the diet plan for p90X and ensure that I have all the necessary kit I need to start. Talking of which, my friend the facilitator who I will refer to as the Guru ( he is aware of this) advised that for the yoga bit if one has p90X2 it is better to do it instead of p90X version. So that is a good tip from the Guru :-)
If you have any other tips on exercise, diet or a healthy lifestyle do feel free to share :-)
