When my hand and arm starts doing what you hand and arm are doing I soak mine in epsom salt and warm water. Most of the time it really helps, when it doesn't I entertain thoughts of chewing it off LOL. You know when animals get caught in traps that is what they try to do to get loose. I pray today finds you in less pain!! And we can read you posts just fine!! so if you have noone around to type for you just jump right in here. I still smile about your smile sliding around you face--YOU ARE THE MAN!!BLESS YOU!!Carose
