Jess,

You have my deepest sympathies, as I know how frustrating RSI is!  I was diagnosed in '96 during pregnancy, and it quickly "spread" to both wrists.  I had the op and whilst I do still get pangs, it did help enormously.  Along with occupational guidance in ergonomics, ie keyboard change, specific exercises etc.

I've thankfully be able to carry on in administration.  Have you spoken to your employer about alternatives?  Occupational therapy, speech recognition, a move into a different role?  Definitely explore the teleworking idea as well, perhaps your employer could make use of it?

Hope it all goes well for you.

Callie
