I'm a flight attendant from UAL and a lot of us have carpal tunnel =
syndrome from
repetitive motion. I don't know if you've seen a orthopedic or not but =
the
simplest remedy is resting them and taking ibuprofen. When you start =
into the
more serious stuff it just escalates what will and won' t so the longer =
you can
put off the better. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=450211219-10032001><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial =

on the
airplane so we would not continue to get wrist and hand pain. How does a =
piano
tuner change their hand???Good Luck! </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P>Lately my tuning hand is feeling some pain, especially in the 3rd =
&
4th knucke joint. I've had this before and it usually dissapates =
within a
few days of the onset. Not sure of the cause, and since i'm only in =
my early
40's, I'm hoping it's not arthritis. But I was wondering if anyone =
has ever
tried ''glucosamine and/or chondroitin ", and experienced pain =
relief.
I may have to even resort to cortisone shots, but in the meantime, =
I'll
drink green tea, and cut back to just 3 tunings per day. Oh, I also =
hear
fish oil is helpful. What are your most effective hand pain
remedies?<BR><BR></P></DIV>
