I don't know. It's hard not to use your dominent hand. It just feels worse then ever, and I have that lingering finger infection on same hand. I see doctor Monday for infection; they called in more antibiotics. Sometimes you got to throw up your hands and say I give up.

yeah, I feel like giving up too... and then the phone rings, I get hungry or hubby's coming in the door. LIFE keeps coming at ya.
You know, at my worst with my arms and hands, I did incorporate and use my feet for some tasks, even running a copier on the floor with my feet to open the lid, close the lid, push the button, slide paper off, slide paper on. It was that bad, for years. Just a thought to keep some work off your hands. I also move laundry baskets with my feet, never bending over or carrying them, even today.
Have you looked at the Kinesio tape option. It has a retraining aspect to it. it lightly holds things in place too.

It helped me in many ways. If you pull it too tight, it can cause spasm. I could mail you some to try on your hand and fingers if that would interest you.
I know how frustrating hand issues can be.
