Thanks again Liz,
I've read there on and off and have looked at some great slides showing muscles and nerves etc. that someone posts from time to time. I should try to read some more of the info. posts there when I get time.

I think it was Jo posted me a great site which had stretching exercizes on it... that was beginning of last year I think, on the old BT site in Repetitive Strain Injuries. I'd resorted to wearing a brace a lot because it was the only way of keeping my arm straight to stop the awful pain in my elbow at the time. Then I realized that I wasn't using my arm enough and my little finger and ring finger were wilting a bit. I found the stretching exercizes very helpful but have since lost the site. I must try to find that again. You've helped get me remotivated. thanks.
