I have repetitive strain injury in my right wrist (way too much typing

especially weeding and digging.
Can anyone suggest tools that will help to reduce the strain or give
hints or tips on reducing the strain when gardening.-
No special tools. Instead, know your limits, slowly exercise your
joints according to doctor/therapist instruction and back off
immediately when it hurts. Sometimes an ace bandage works wonders.
Hope you feel better, joint pain is no fun.
Thanks for all of the advice - am being referred to a physio - will
just have to remember that sometimes - less is more

Your medical professional will probably recommend you change your name from
Frailie, to something like Robusto. LOL
