I'm really sorry to hear it's an ongoing problem. Much easier said than I know... but the last comment seems apposite and sensible. Maybe work in the afternoon after things have loosened up...? Leave the am for recuperation if possible (like you can live your life with one hand I know!)... ? Wish I could literally lend a hand!matt dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290520346352238280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852621464231820190.post-37708436897571810552012-09-12T16:27:32.436+01:002012-09-12T16:27:32.436+01:00Welcome to the club!

It's you, me, and PJ so far.<br /><br />I'm coming up on my second year with RSI, and the hot/cold water thing doesn't actually do you any good in the long run as you're just temporarily overloading one sensation in that area with another. Complete rest for your hands is your best treatment, and I mean COMPLETE rest: no pens or pencils, no pc, no remote controls, no video games, no cellphones. I've found NSAIs like Arcoxia can help, too, but your best bet is a consult with a physiotherapist so you can discuss area-specific exercises - if any - that can help in the long run.Brigonoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05284882511370405132noreply@blogger.com
