Thank you to those who replied privately to my quest for ways of dealing with tendonitis.
I have just had my first appointment with a physiotherapist thanks to a new one being appointed at the local hospital: these people are in short supply here. I have been shown how to do my own physio and have been given a splint to be worn, theoretically, all the time. Given it totally immobilises my hand and I live alone this won't be possible but I can certainly wear it all night when the pain is worst. The rest of the time I have to wear a tubigrip support bandage which comes half way to my elbow. I had bought some of these but wasn't wearing them long enough. In the meantime no hand craft at all :-(((( I'm going to be bored out of my mind. so my works in progress and UFOs will remain so for longer than I had anticipated. My young GP's verdict of "six weeks" is, I suspect, a text book answer rather than one resulting from experience.
