Well, I talked to my doc today. I asked her about shots; she said
they'd be the next logical step, but that she isn't confident about
finding the right spot; apparently they have to be done with a great
deal of precision. Anyway, she's referred me to a hand specialist
who she says is really good, and I'll be seeing him in a couple of
weeks. She also mentioned acupuncture, saying that a lot of people
rave about it for tendon-related issues, but of course that's
outside of insurance. (Not sure about the flexible spending acct,
though ...) If more conventional western means don't do the trick,
I'll try the needle route.


You can use your fsa/msa for alternative treatments like Accupunture etc.
It's on the list, and since it's a federally mandated program, we should
have the same list.

I've used massage extensively to treat overuse and pre-carpal tunnel with my
hands.
