use the fingerless support gloves as well as a mouse with a roller ball, keeps my right hand finger from over use of clicking. Big difference. I also have had a steriod shot for the middle finger for "trigger finger", not nice, hurt worse than child birth but has lasted at least 6 months and just started flaring again. I have already had the carpel tunnel surgery on the right hand but now it has settled into arthritis. I completely understand the pain, and I am left handed at that.
