Pinky pain

Anyone else get horrible pain in their non-dominant pinky? I have not crocheted in over 24 hours and my pinky still hurts so bad. I can barely bend it without getting a terrible shock of pain. :( I have tried using icyhot at night but nothing is giving me relief. I am not fond on taking medicine if I do not have to (very sensitive stomach)

Any tips/tricks very appreciated!
Only things I have seen are to take breaks(does not help) and try holding a pen.. I will give that a whirl tonight when I get back to my current WIP

I use Volaten Gel, it helps a lot. You may need to retrain your crocheting so that pinky finger is not involved.

I will have to look into that as well! Thank you! Yeah, tonight I started back on some projects and was trying to figure out different ways to hold it but I may even end up making a makeshift splint to force it to keep straight when I crochet :sweat_smile:
