I have painful tendonitis symptoms in my right wrist caused due to repetitive typing and mousing. I have tried everything from ergonomic evaluation, to physical therapy but the symptoms keep coming back. Sometimes it gets so debilitating that I even have trouble holding the steering wheel. I am really really desperate to get better, to not have the tenderness and burning sensation, be able to play tennis again , to indulge in all the activities I used to…….. Any tips/suggestions are more than welcome. If there is a support group for people like me in the bay are, please please do let me know
Hi,
I have a have a rhythm touch electronic massager that helps relieve the pain of my tendonitis. It uses low frequency stimulation to improve blood circulation. I found it online at a company called Net Product Store: http://www.netproductstore.com/
They have a good price and also give a full warranty.

Have you been tested for corporal tunnel. Sound like that is your problem. If you have surgery you will need to find another type of work. If you go back to doing the same thing it will reappear. Tendinitis can be tough and as far as I know you cannot overcome it doing the same motions everyday. So think about finding something different. There are pads that can assist you on the keyboard, that support your arms. I don’t know how well they work but I have seen several using them that stay on computers throughout the day.
Good luck
