[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1948421, member: 109113"] Your wrist & finger stiffness is likely due to inflammation, and there are ways to deal with that which you may not have considered. I have been dealing with this inflammation issue for almost a year, and mine is because of lyme disease. I have had a slow, steady recovery, and I'm in much better shape in the last couple of months. One thing that made a huge difference is acupuncture. I went once a week for several months, then had about a six-week hiatus in my treatments due to the shutdown. I resumed the treatments several weeks ago, and that was then things really started to come together. My hands, which had formerly looked like two purple balloons, now look pretty normal. More importantly, the pain is greatly reduced, and [I]they are fully functional.[/I] I have been doing other things for this issue - like treating the underlying condition - but I think that the acupuncture treatments have had the most noticeable effect on the inflammation & pain. I also have been getting osteopathic manipulation to enhance lymphatic system function, which I think has helped as well. All the doctors involved in the process encouraged me to get back into my weight training program as soon as my hands could function well enough, which I did. This was when I really turned the corner in my recovery. I think that your yoga is probably doing the same thing for you, and I wish that I had thought of that a long time ago.
