I have RSI in both of my hands. Doc thought he'd have to cut off my wedding rings but got them off with mineral oil (phew). I have been resting and icing my hands for a week now. All weekend, I did NOTHING strenuous (no typing or writing or even dishes) and rested. Actually had to BUY a cake instead of baking one (gads) for a family dinner last night. Thought things were getting better. Until...

I opened 2 bottles of wine last night. The corkscrew kind. And...woke up this morning and my fingers were swollen AGAIN. Dammit, dammit, DAMMIT!!! Two facking bottles. TWO!! This sucks busted clown ass. :O

Screw top bottles.

I did a lot of chopping yesterday. My hands went into spasms with cramps but it only lasted a few seconds.

RSI from opening wine-bottles? hmmmm yup, if cutting down is not an option, i'd go w/ the box wine, it's just as good! Wink

all joking aside, i'm sorry you're hurting so bad! that's terrible...

Ouch. My daughter had issues with that and had to have her hands in braces during the day... She couldn't wear them at night because her hands swelled up if she did.
