Well, I have a diagnosis - carpal tunnel, again! It's nothing like the first time, but is apparently very bad. I'm going to have the worse hand and elbow fixed next Wednesday, then have to wait for the other. At least I'll have one hand that works, I hope!
Thanks all for the suggestions for help. I haven't managed to find or make anything that works for padding, but the prospect of working hands is uplifting.
Does anyone know if physiotherapy works for muscular arthritis? (Rheumatism?) it seems to be getting worse not better, in spite of the improved weather. The doctors have not even suggested it.
