So, I...I have had arthritis since the age of nine. So, I have spent a lifetime of instilling an inner time clock of getting up every 20 minutes or so from whatever I am doing, whether it is typing on a manuscript or working with beads or anything. Simply taking a brief walk outside or around the house helps keep my eyes in focus and my body from overdoing things.<BR/><BR/>Sure hope you get to feeling better soon!<BR/><BR/>Kathy V in NMKVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893455571484379148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465789206319703084.post-33420086250221193512007-07-08T21:37:00.001-07:002007-07-08T21:37:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465789206319703084.post-58781748353987713682007-07-08T21:37:00.000-07:002007-07-08T21:37:00.000-07:00I got carpal tunnel from milking goats!

I was afraid all this blogging and beading would make it hurt a lot but I put on a brace every night and so far have not had any trouble. Then again, I am a very antsy person and can't sit still for more than 20 minutes so maybe I give my arm the rest it needs naturally.<BR/><BR/>Hope it gets better very soon.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465789206319703084.post-76451080714323926692007-07-08T19:59:00.000-07:002007-07-08T19:59:00.000-07:00I have sometimes been known to bead for hours with...I have sometimes been known to bead for hours with no ill effects. However, I got tendonitis from scrubbing out a bathtub! This taught me a valuable lesson and let me know where my priorities should lie. :- D And I take pretty frequent breaks these days anyway, just in case.Lois2037https://www.blogger.com/profile/04776736493772592187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465789206319703084.post-32912275022612454732007-07-08T09:46:00.000-07:002007-07-08T09:46:00.000-07:00Oh duh, I had my surgery April 19th and the cast o...Oh duh, I had my surgery April 19th and the cast off in May.vivagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869897494047218024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465789206319703084.post-87634768887366123192007-07-08T09:02:00.000-07:002007-07-08T09:02:00.000-07:00Want a reminder never to ignore pain from repetiti...Want a reminder never to ignore pain from repetitive motion? Just go read in my daily blog about my tennis elbow surgery (May 19th, 2007). <A HREF="http://vivage.blogspot.com/search?q=cast" REL="nofollow">Tennis elbow surgery and casted arm</A> There are a lot of pictures, showing my incision and what happens to your hand if you're in a full arm cast and can't keep it up above your heart.<BR/><BR/>And I am still going thru physical therapy. Really, ya don't want to have to go thru surgery. Stop and rest, ice it and take anti-inflammatories! <BR/><BR/>:-) A public service announcement from me, who loves to bead and work with her hands but couldn't for the longest time.vivagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869897494047218024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465789206319703084.post-8363959688954044202007-07-08T08:53:00.000-07:002007-07-08T08:53:00.000-07:00Sorry to hear about your muscle strain, hope that'...Sorry to hear about your muscle strain, hope that's all it is!!! One thing I finally did, but don't use all the time, is to get a kitchen timer. I set it for 30 minutes for stretch breaks. Thanks for the reminder, I'll need to start using that again!!! Get better soon!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048339005351788948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465789206319703084.post-8365781470812733452007-07-08T08:48:00.000-07:002007-07-08T08:48:00.000-07:00è vero, bisogna fare pause, soffro anch'io della "...è vero, bisogna fare pause, soffro anch'io della "sindrome del tunnel carpale".<BR/>fare pause, tenere le dita tese spesso, e resistere quando durante la notte la mano e il braccio si "addormentano", intorpidiscono.<BR/>grazie per averlo ricordato Susan, ciao matildamAtildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00836064164750686784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465789206319703084.post-92147514324021737682007-07-08T07:36:00.000-07:002007-07-08T07:36:00.000-07:00I've done that, too.

Along with Ibprofin to relieve the inflamation, it did take a little while to heal. Thanks for the very good reminder to take breaks.heidibeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008121382875319764noreply@blogger.com
