pin pricked finger cure
#32
I, too, use Thimblepads, the little leather stick on thingies. Love 'em.
For healing, try something called Crack Care. It's heals cracked fingers in a matter of a day or two and stops the pain almost immediately. It should easily heal pin/needle pricks overnight and without the sloppy mess of Bag Balm. The stuff is truly amazing and a small container lasts a long, long time because you use just a little bit and it works so fast. It's well worth the price.

Have you tried the leather thimble? I can't use a metal one but the leather one is a finger saver for me, especially the one that fits over the end of your finger.<object type="cosymantecnisbfw" cotype="cs" id="SILOBFWOBJECTID" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block;"></object>

It takes a little practice and determination to learn how to use a thimble but I would keep trying. That is, unless, you have an extensive vocabulary as suggested above.

The only cure I know is to stop sewing for a while...I have the same problem with thimbles and have found nothing works except to let the fingers rest.

When you are sorting papers, there are finger tips you can put on to help pick up the individual papers. I use those on the finger/s most likely to be pricked when I am doing handwork. And I don't understand how anyone can sew without a thimble! froggyintexas
