update from diagnosis.

Hello.

I have been using the splints as instructed during the night and this has definitely helped with the lessening of pins and needles. However, if I do cleaning or in-fact anything using my hands repetitively, I still get pain which can be mild to severe, causing pain to focus mainly on my thumbs, wrists and to travel up my arm and the sensation of a band twanging is still evident.

A sensible solution would be I suppose to wear the splints more often and I have done so when not at work, do you think this is the right thing to do? I do not want to share my diagnoses with work so have obviously not used the supports there! It is my dominant (right) hand that is affected the most.

I have used an ibuprofen gel mainly on my wrists to little effect and also used Solpadeine with Codeine which has definitely helped somewhat. I did approach my GP for pain killers but he was reluctant to prescribe anything. Considering my diagnoses is classed as mild, I feel so much sympathy for those with a moderate to severe diagnoses.

Kind regards.
