Ooo

Thanks mrsD. Years ago, I had tendenitis. I know that is not the same as carpal tunnel syndrome but it was not fun. As I recall, I believe I got it from helping with airplane annuals where I had to unscrew screws and screw them back again with the screwdriver. There were a lot. Later I used a battery operated screwdriver. But I dearly loved helping with airplane annuals.

To this day if I do repetitive stuff like crocheting or knitting, etc. I can feel it and I quit. I only do so much at a time. And I haven't done any of that for quite some time now. My doctor told me that she would put my arm in a cast, at the time, if I did not pretty much quit using it for I believe it was six weeks. That time along with taking prescribed Motrin.

At any rate, I am very careful now as to what I do and how I do it, etc. I'm glad your carpal tunnel has now pretty well resolved. Nothing fun at all.

I hope Raglet gets some help for whatever is causing her problem.

Thank you.
