Hi Julian,

This was exactly the situation when I had an occupational injury. I told my boss and asked if I could contact occupational health, but he was really worried that he would get in trouble so I didn't. With hindsight, I should have pushed harder to get help at the time.

Reese -

it may be that there are other things that you can do with your hands. I can't play the piano or the violin now. if I do, I lose the feeling in my right hand and get pain in the tendons of my right wrist. However, I am fine with playing the clarinet and typing on a computer. There are some specific movements that are not okay for me and some that are fine.

Oddly, if I do something that aggravates the injury, then often doing something that doesn't aggravate it help it to recover faster. It's like the ropes in my wrist have got burned by being dragged through the carpel tunnel at the wrong angle but dragging them through at the right angle helps them recover.

Some people also find that they recover quicker if they put their wrist in a splint overnight so they can't bend it while they are asleep. Some people sleep with their wrist bend at 90 degrees which can harm it.

If you want to understand what's going on anatomically, you can start with the Finkelstein test which is described here:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/de-quervain-tenosynovitis/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20371337#:~:text=You%20may%20be%20asked%20to,likely%20have%20de%20Quervain%20tenosynovitis.

It's test for a specific problem called de Quervain tenosynovitis.

I have that, but I have something else too, that I can't pin down.
