Thank you so much.  I didn't know about these gloves.  
 
Do you charge a CoPay?  Well actually since I don't have any health  
insurance until July of this year thanks for the advise.

I  understand what you ladies are talking about and, yes, I think it is  
from
the knitting. Here are a few suggestions that help me

Try  relaxing your grip a little. Avoid knitting with a death crip.
Also, like  Barb said, try some of those comfort gloves. My crafting store
sells them  in the yarn aisle.
Also, if you knit for long periods, say in the evening  during movie night
or something, try reminding yourself to stop every one  in awhile, just as
we should do with any kind of work, Get up to get a  drink, pet the dog, or
just set the needles down for a minute and gently  flex and massage your
fingers. This might help your hands relax a little  and not suffer from so
much repetitive motion.
