It's the perfect combo after overdoing it. Either one done alone doesn't work. At one point mine got so bad that I would wake up with both my arms completely numb. It would be an hour before I could even pick up anything. After that I decided to stop doing certain types of work like pave gemstone setting that is really intense on your hands. I also pace my work and take breaks to avoid overdoing things now.
