Jean, I have nerve damage in my left hand...symptom's similar to carpel tunnel but not fixable. I just accept slow is the way it is and continue doing bucks-point and knitted lace, clumsily but carefully. Now complicated with a broken right wrist (radial bone at joint) and nerve damage in my right thumb...not sure yet what happened there but it was bundled with the arm break. You just refuse to let it stop you and keep on lacing!! My doc says to keep on with the needle-work. His nurse practitioner would have me stop all use of my right hand. My doc knows me better than her. I could no sooner stop needlework than I could stop breathing.
