thanks fella's:thumbup1:...I know rest is the way to cure it...but not is not a restful time!...I've been putting ice on it in the evenings..soldier on...

 

you can get from boots and the like ice gel rub it into afected parts and helps. other thing you can do is if using saw for periods keep taKING SHORT BREAKS AND GET A HAND WARMER. that will help the blood flow better so may reduce the pain but sounds like raynards or white finger. but it affects the hands i get it if i use a saw a lot fingers swell to double the size.have to wait to go down was recomended a hot handle saw to reduce it hence hand warmer

Carple Tunnel in left hand made it very difficult to grip things like plate and very very painful.

 

Got phisio, exercises and some painful injections and bobs your auntie, I avoided the need to go under the knife.

If I know I'll be spending a long time on the saw I wear the Timberland gel gloves. There's a good amount of protection and so far haven't had any major issues. Keeping your hands warm is a pertinent point.

Pulled tendons in right hand will starting ladge husky. It is about 5 year ago I did it know still get some pain if I do a lot of climbing. Doctor is the best person to see about it.

Go and see someone asap, a good osteopath, chiropractor can help and can often see you much sooner - though you will have to pay. Will manipulate and give you exercises etc... GP referrals to a physio can take quite a few weeks, GP will probably tell you to rest it....come back in...before passing you on to physio, that doesn't keep you working or necessarily improve the situation.
