Thanks for all your help--this forum is awesome and I appreciate all the support. It is depressing not to be able to do something you love! I don't hand quilt. I am having trouble gripping anything in my right hand due to the ends of my fingers being numb. I have seen an orthopedic hand surgeon but do not want to have surgery at this point. I am trying the splints at night and giving the hands some rest--hopefullly it will get better. Thanks everyone!!
