Argh, my carpal tunnel is acting up again. I think it was all those socks I did last week. That, and finishing off another ball of LB Homespun on my throw. Both of those tend to be harder on the wrist than other crochet I do. :P The socks I understand, given how tightly I crochet them, but the throw? Maybe it's because I tense up having to deal with all those snags. :P
I wore my wrist brace last night and the night before, and didn't crochet at all yesterday, to try to get it to calm down somewhat. For some reason, right now it's twinging just to say hello.
Bus-ride-crochet this morning consisted of another wool square... much easier on the wrists than socks. I may have to put off Snowflake Monday until next week... I'll see how my wrist feels tonight.

Yikes! Be careful with those wrists and hands. I've had problems myself before. Rest up!
Oooh--I sure hope it starts feeling better.

Carpal tunnel sucks, doesn't it? I miss the days that I could knit and crochet as much as I wanted to.
I wear my brace every night even if it's not bothering me too much, as advised by the specialist. It seems to help. Take care, and don't overdo it (even if I don't always follow my own advice).
Ugh. I've been having some carpal flareup lately -- the heating pad is helping me a little, and I try to wear my brace at night. Hope it starts to feel better soon!
