: 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!

cheers will try those things,may need to change my job, chemist urged me to try aspirin (anti inflamotory).

all a little new to me this, i guess surgery is inevitable from what i read & hear, good to know i`m not alone with this.

thanks Graham.
