    How do you adjust the tappets on it?
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I suppose you've already tried steroid injections. They sometimes work - but sometimes the effect wears off too quickly to be useful.

    mrs d had them in her legs/thighs some while back. They worked for a while, but eventually she had to have surgery, which for quite a while does seem to have helped.

    More recently though she showed interest in playing the piano, and found it a bit hard playing the piano we had. I thought that maybe a digital piano would be better, but sadly it hasn't been. She also had problems chopping up food. Several months ago she had steroid injections, and although she hasn't yet gone back to piano playing, other things have got a lot better, and there's as yet no sign of the treatment wearing off. Apparently sometimes a one off dose can "do the trick", while other people need regular periodic injections, and for some it eventually doesn't work at all.

    Perhaps worth checking with your GP.

    Had steroid injections for tennis elbow many years ago. Bit painful for a day (sticking a needle into an inflamed tendon will do that), but then settled down nicely. Only came back about 3 months after returning to the gym, so another injection was done. And by modifying my training routine the tennis elbow stayed away.

    I suspect the effectiveness will depend on your quack hitting the right spot.

    Something to do with the steroid 'thinning your skin' iirc. Hydrocortisone creams should only be used sparingly and for a limited time for similar reasons I believe.

    I did mention that success is not guranteed, but there's a reasonable chance.

    Indeed the injections aren't suppose to be done too frequently - though it may also depend on the injection site and how often the injections would need to be done to be effective. I get the feeling that hands may be less of a problem than thigh or leg regions, so you'd probably be OK to have two injections each year - if really needed. It may be that just one injection - with a different regime afterwards - would fix the problem for a long while.

    Worth a try if things are getting bad for you.
