There is a thread, I can't remember what it started as, but some of the Ladies talk about there hands hurting if you look through some of the old post you might find it and some suggestions.

I went and looked and if you go to the "General" section of this forum and go to page 2 and about half way down the page are two threads that are titled "do your hands hurt"

. Hi Pipin, welcome from Canada :D I have arthritis in my hands and both my thumbs have very limited mobility I also have no feeling in the first two fingers of my left hand but I still manage to stitch, I use ergonomic theraputic gloves, they are fingerless and made of lycra. They have a lot of support and massage your hands, I know I can stitch longer if I wear them. Hope this helps they are about $30.00 a pair Cdn. You can get them on line and at most good needlework stores , also Michaels. I got mine there and they were $15.00 each. Linda

Hi

Ive been browsing through an issue of the world of cross stitch. In it someone has written in who suffers tendonitis, the magazine people recommend speaking to a physio to ensure you get the right advise, and they suggest using a wrist support called 'the McDavid wrist support' Apparently it gives support by compression and therapeutic heat retention. It costs £12.98 inc p&p www.physiosupplies.com 08700 545050

Hope the info helps some of you.

Regards
Sue
