Hi Graham,

I WISH I had a good answer! you can try some things such as:
positioning your hands to be above your heart when you sleep (to reduce swelling). use an ice pack or cold pack on the spots that hurt. a bag of rice cooled in the freezer will work for a couple of hours. over the counter pain relievers such as Tylenol, Aleve, Advil (or the generic brands) may help.

if you can change the way you do things at work maybe you could stop doing the same repetitive motions.

Adam has posted some exercises for after surgery that could help now.

and there are lots of net sites about exercises and trigger points, here's one and there's one below.

you can find books at amazon.com and maybe at a local library.

Good luck!
