When it first happened, I did look it up and it seems there are lots
of different types. Mine seems to result in a knobbly joint on one
finger that does not hurt, and normal looking joints on another that
does hurt. I have seen the quack, and had a blood test, and then was
basically told, "Welcome to old age".

On the plus side, I have spoken to my boss, and he has said go and
order whatever I need and offered to send me to an occupational health
specialist.

I found an old Logitech Marble mouse that I used to use at home. I
will give that a trial at work, and if successful will buy a new
trackball type device for work. I won't buy another Marble in case I
want to use this one at home, and it would be better not to have the
same. If the trackball does not work, then I will get a graphics
tablet with stylus, as holding a pen is no problem, at the moment. :-)
