 Re: I might be ruining my fingers and tendons slowly but surely

It sounds as if this has gone beyond the help of neckstraps or technique adjustments or, possibly, even rest by itself. Since today is Sunday and this doesn't qualify for an emergency room visit, make some phone calls tomorrow toward getting medical attention. If you have a primary care physician under your insurance, start with getting an appointment to see him/her. But I would expect the primary to recommend a specialist - my guess would be an orthopedist (who specializes in hands) or maybe a neurologist - to do a thorough evaluation.

Meanwhile - and this is not medical advice, but based on my past experience - try applying alternating ice packs and heat to try to reduce any inflammation (ice) and relax the tendons a little (heat). Don't go overboard with either or you could do more damage.

Bottom line: don't continue to try to treat this yourself. Get professional help. ASAP. That's why they get all that training.
