Hi,
I have a bit of the same problem. I've had to reduce the amount of sewing,
plan better (start months earlier), sew in shorter bursts, use longer
needles (cotton darning needles preferably because of length and long
head), sometimes using some kind of supporting bandage on my wrist. I also
try to avoid wool fabrics that require linen thread and force when sewing.
Softer wool sewn with wool thread and linen sewn with thinner thread than
I've previously used, also eases the pain. Silk is a pain no matter what. I
sew across my lap from right to left which keeps my wrist more stationary.

I can't sew like I used to and I've had to learn new ways of knitting
(combining different styles from all over the world, youtube can be your
friend), but at least I can still sew and knit. Crocheting kills my wrists
and hands still, so years pass between each time. I have to forget the pain
first  :-D

Gunvor
