Sometimes that's the best way. I would recommend to start on a small project that doesn't have too many innies and outies. Smooth curves and straight lines might be the best way to start.
I have recently been diagnosed with carpal tunnel and found that too much handwork affects my hands. BUT as long as I space the sessions, I am good to go. My husband made me a small lap board that I put on top of a regular pillow in my lap.
