: : I was having discomfort at work while typing. I didnt think anything of it, til 2 days later I woke up and my hand was swollen like a grapefruit.
: : I went to urgent care and they said I had tendonitis and that since I dont do much typing or repetitive movements at home it may have been damaged at work then aggravated thru normal use at home.

: : Is that possible? I ask because I went to see the workmans Compensation Dr and he told me that it could not be work related because I didnt work the night before. He also said that having discomfort while typing is normal.

: : Please help, this is all new to me. Yes I have an appointment with my Regular Dr in just a few days.

: Seems to me if it started while typing at work, then its work related.. I don't believe that typing causes the sort of discomfort you speak of.
: My daughter also has tendonitis in her wrist from typing on the computer at work. She has taken three steriod injections in her wrist & was helped by it, but only for awhile. It always comes back.. She wears a wrist splint while on the computer now & says it does help a bit. Maybe you could try that for awhile..

: Personally I would take the word of the ER doctors over the W
