It's virtually impossible to get an appointment with my GP, and then you have to wait an hour beyond your time usually, so I'd like to see if there's anything I can do first before seeing the doc.

Mainly my left hand (I am right handed) - aching in the middle finger, all along the back of my hand, and aching wrist, particularly in the wrist joint on the outside of the hand (little finger side).

Anyone got any bright ideas? It seems to happen more after a day gardening or a lot of typing, but I'm not doing these things to excess, nor are they unusual for me to do. ie not RSI I don't think.

I have fibromyalgia and get a lot of hand pain. Soaking my hands in a bowl of hot as i can handle water helps for me, or heat packs, or hot water bottles.
