Hi, after several years of thinking I had tendonitis in my hands (after excessive typing around exam type the symptoms of weakness/ not being able to write/type started) I was diagnosed by a specialist hand doctor with hypermobility. Unfortunately he didn't have any advice other than "go see an occupational therapist".

I have done my best to make my office setting ergonomic, and have tried a few ergonomic keyboards (I've found by far the best thing has been a mechanical keyboard, and not resting hands while typing), but I haven't been able to find any Doctor or Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist who specialises in hypermobility, and specifically knows how to deal with it in the hands (I live in Ireland).

I haven't been able to find any resources online specifically about hypermobility in the hands - just loads of stuff on Hypermobility in the Body generally. If anyone knows of any resources on this that would be great. Also I wondering would hand-strengthening exercises be beneficial. I'm a bit scared to do them in case I make the problem worse, e.g. by extending my tendons too much or by stressing them through repetitive exercise.

If you have any advice/ knowledge to share you will be my hero
