It's the pits!

Currently got 3 fingers, 4 toes and one ankle bandaged up, and everything is 100x harder than usual. Can't walk without a walking stick today, but my hands can't manage to hold on to it, so I'm a bit stuck - which is ok, as I cant manage to manipulate a house key, purse, bank card or bus pass anyway, so where would I go?

At least I can still type, even if not with my normal typing fingers

Thanks @weegiemum i’ve PM’d you. (I think) new to using mumsnet.
yes Sjogrens is something I have been tested for but bloods negative, but my understanding is people with neurological symptoms of sjogrens have quite a high autoantibody negative percentage.
my GP has prescribed morphine patches for the pain, I’m a bit scared to use them but also scared of the pain. 🤷‍♀️😖
