Hello there Pam,

I am catching up on 2 weeks worth of Clayart and just saw your post. I
apologise if this is a repeat. Try this web site.

I have had the surgery done on my right hand. I worked for me, although
I still don't have the lateral strength (for opening lids) I used to
have before the operation. My left hand began tingling and after doing
these exercises, I haven't had the sensations. I hesitate to recommend
any internal remedy, especially overdoses of vitamines. The existing
research on the interactions of these substances with the biomechanics
of the body is just not fully understood.

Good luck to your sister
