I'm not even as avid a knitter as you are, and it drove me mad!

I highly recommend taking some Advil (just not long term as there are some side effects) and let your fingers rest for a few days. A tiny bit of knitting here and there won't hurt but nothing full fledged. Also, ice your hands from time to time and you'll be back up and knitting again in no time. You still have plenty of time to knit between now and Christmas.<br /><br />TanyaIndigoMusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13803136592194074932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18293943.post-13053521014882591542006-11-29T14:21:00.000-05:002006-11-29T14:21:00.000-05:00Well, I know I couldn't make it through my monthly...Well, I know I couldn't make it through my monthly cramps-like-childbirth if it wasn't for 800mg of ibuprofen, which, in my opinion, is a miracle drug. And it's not harmful to the liver like Tylenol is. I just have to take it with food, as it can irritate my stomach, otherwise. But I try not to overuse it for every little thing. If I were in your situation, though, I'd definitely use it. It is fantastic as an anti-inflammatory.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182147694501965096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18293943.post-31044957541438049172006-11-29T10:25:00.000-05:002006-11-29T10:25:00.000-05:00So this is how you know so much about knitting chi...So this is how you know so much about knitting chickens!!!

I do know of a couple good hand therapists if physical therapy is an option. And if you're so inclined, I know a good acupuncturist. <br /><br />and even if you don't want the names of either, take care of that hand. Better to owe a few IOUs (these are people who will understand?) than seriously injure it.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474980306068764861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18293943.post-11301705897594514322006-11-28T15:22:00.000-05:002006-11-28T15:22:00.000-05:00Oh boy, any knitters worst nightmare, being told t...Oh boy, any knitters worst nightmare, being told to stop. If only we lived nearer I would have done some for you as my xmas knitting is nearly done.<br /><br />I'm like you, hate taking medications, will tough things out if possible rather than pop pills!<br /><br />Take care and maybe you could just do short spells at a time, every little will get you nearer the end product.<br /><br />{{{{HUGS}}}}gourdongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639572322917035685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18293943.post-88382536678609663572006-11-28T13:28:00.000-05:002006-11-28T13:28:00.000-05:00OH NO!!!!

(Especially when the doctor mentioned that I really shouldn't knit while watching TV or riding in the car! When would I knit if I followed his instructions!?!<br /><br />I'm with you on the "meds" front. Do you have any good massage therapists in your area that are good with hands and arms? Good Luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
