I usually use cones but last festival, I used a Jacquard bottle. It
was only about five hours, but by the end I could not bend my thumb
enough to squeeze the bottle. It was really sore for a couple days,
with shooting pains in the lower in-between-knuckle area that only
extreme pressure relieved. I actually wrapped a rubber band around
the area for a bit (although I took it off quickly, it felt better)
It was slightly stiff but fine for a couple more days and I thought
it was healed. This was two weeks ago. I did some more work with a
bottle over this past weekend and it was slightly stiff but not
actually painful. Then I got taken out to dinner and had lobster
(oh, yum) and had difficulty applying enough pressure to crack the
harder parts of the shell, and at one point the nutcracker-thing they
give you pressed exactly wrong spot and it hurt incredibly.
All day today, it's hurt a lot, with pain all up and down the lower
in-between-knuckle area and it feels bruised so it hurts to touch it
at the point where the thumb and finger bones come together near the
wrist and toward the webby part.
What dod I do, wht can I do to help fix it, and how do those of you
who use those bottles all the time cope with it?
