Howdy, friends. So, the carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injury to my left thumb are still problematic, but not enough to warrant medical attention. As far as yarn activities, I just can't knit for a while, however, I have been destashing with some basic Tunisian #crochet. Oh- and I was today-years-old when I discovered that wrist compression devices are a thing. Halle-freakin'-lujah!

Back at you, m'dear. 🤗
My thumb is aggravating the hell out of me, and while the wrist compression glove has been helpful for the carpal tunnel, it's not designed to immobilize that opposable digit. While searching for info on thumb splints I did manage to discover medical info on the condition. It turns out that this malady is commonly referred to as "trigger finger" - or in this case, "trigger thumb". Neato.
