gracie - my sister, the nurse, suggests you try using an icepak on your hand when you take the time to sit down and rest [
] should be applied 10 min on/10 min off and should have a wash cloth or other light material between skin and ice pak.
sounds like a good reason to stop being busy and take a rest!
hope that helps
