Donna, I am also concerned with problems with use of my hands since i am a dental hygienist. It is only my thumb that locks up and I can live with that. Sometimes i think that exercising your hands helps to prevent further problems. The reason I say that is because the prob is worst at night when I am sleeping and not using the hands at all. With my gym workouts and yoga, I think I might be preventing further joint problems. Not sure of course, but my guess.
