Hi Martin
Have you tried wearing wrist braces? Since my wrist swell with the littlest chore they have made a difference. Since drumming is a lot of wrist work it may take trying several different ones till you find ones that don't interfear

EFT is also a suggestion, I'm not too sure if you have heard of "tapping" - this really does help to reduce pain levels (enough for you to get your job done!)

Do some research on EFT - perhaps you might find a EFT practitioner close by who will be able to assist you!

i would suggest trying hot or cold compresses to see if that would help bring down the pain a little bit and/or even trying pain creams, ask your local pharmacy, i used to be a session guitarist before i got too bad to be able to play anymore and i used to use compresses and medicated rubs, balms and creams, o and i used to do a hell of a lot of stretching and rubbing my hands and arms.

I wonder if acupuncture might help?

Defo thanks Daniel!

The only problem is that playing drums is how I earn my living and in April I was living off my savings but now it's gone!
