Love yours. I had the same problem last year, except it was tennis elbow. I used to think that people who complained of this were just a bunch wussies - boy was I wrong. Hurt it so bad that I had to take physical therapy once a week for 3 months! Doesn't help that I'm an Exec. Assistant and I type all day! Couldn't pick up my crocheting for nearly 6 months - talk about withdrawal! I'm back at it again, but I've leaned to take it easy and know when to stop. Some days I need to wear a brace near the elbow.Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821657762290392135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-28917073924787690052010-07-19T21:14:51.155+02:002010-07-19T21:14:51.155+02:00Thank you, Mary Lou!

I probably shouldn't do anything at all ... but honestly, I don't know when I last did nothing at all ... I'm a tad hyperactive :-)The Gingerbread Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060553716262145464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-10712738596662946012010-07-19T21:01:33.860+02:002010-07-19T21:01:33.860+02:00Came upon your site while looking for a tea cosy ...Came upon your site while looking for a tea cosy pattern...thanks!!!

Crochet (mainly, there was a good bit of knitting in there, too) was the genesis of my hand surgery for trigger finger last summer. Never has a surgery been so delightful. My hand felt better immediately!Paul & Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410143838866914548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-63890619024585002242010-07-02T22:35:31.380+02:002010-07-02T22:35:31.380+02:00Well, based on my own personal experience, the cat...Well, based on my own personal experience, the cat that sits on my lap while I watch television would be actually petted instead of having her head swatted by turning crocheted items-in-the-making.patrysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02897304738113798551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-88487176387361546832010-07-01T17:26:34.850+02:002010-07-01T17:26:34.850+02:00I have something similar, DeQuervain's tenosyn...I have something similar, DeQuervain's tenosynovitis. It's in the tendons of the thumb rather than just the wrist. I knit. I work in a print shop. I, like you, have to be careful what I do now. My knitting has been severely cut back and there are things here at home and at work that I simply can't do right now. I was told it will take about 6 weeks to feel better. Do what your doctor says or you may end up having to go the surgical route and that means a cast, not just a brace, for 6 weeks. At least you can take the brace off now and then. <br /><br />Take care of yourself! :)Evhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01501618956512192201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-66826514200691730592010-07-01T03:07:44.687+02:002010-07-01T03:07:44.687+02:00Ouch!!!

I got my comeuppance: it's really, really sore. And all the worse for being a self-inflicted injury...
