Yesterday I saw my neuro for my 6 month check up. One of the things he always has me do is hold out my hands and and flex my fingers, then turn flip them afew times. He asked me what that spot was on my hand. (between my thumb and next finger)
I told him I guess it was a callous, and that I had it afew years now and have tried a callous remover on it numerous times to not avail.
He told me it was from holding unto my cane. Well, dummy me, never thought of that! He wanted to watch me walk and then said, now look at your hand. Sure enough, I could see where the callous was coming from now
He said if I wanted I could try a wart remover on it, but not to let the liquid get too deep. Also suggested that I might want to just keep it softer by applying lotion or vaseline on it, which is probably what I'll do.
Has anyone else developed a callous from using a cane? I have been using one alot for about 3 1/2 years now. Jeez- maybe I apply too much pressure when holding onto it!
Had no idea I was that strong!
