Hi all you folks with sore hands,
Many of the hand aches that potters are prone to are in fact not tunnel
syndrome at all. Rather they are potters' thumb, or clinically called
deCurvains syndrome. It is painful as hell and just as debilitating as
carpel tunnel. I got it from wedging. It took months to heal through
homeopathic remedies and acupuncture. But it did go away without surgery
which would have been a last resort for me. Now I don't wedge and I pace
myself carefully. The best way to prevent both carpel tunnel and potters'
thumb is to buy a pugmill. Believe me, its cheap at twice the price! Like
the L'Oreal lady just tell yourself you're worth it. Judy
