I was a webmaster f/t for like 7 years; I was on the pc from morning till night. All those years in front of the pc wrecked my body; my arms were hurting, my fingers, my carpal tunnel radiated into my elbow, biceps and armpits. My arms were so tight, when I stretched them out they were so tingly; I found myself stretching all day trying to find relief. On top of that my back and neck were ALWAYS sore. It was like a chronic pain.

I kept stretching at home when I read about Bikram Yoga. It sounded just like what I needed; 90 minutes of stretching in a hot room (105 degrees F with 40 percent humidity). It was not what I was expecting; I thought it was going to be nice gentle stretching but Bikram is seriously hardcore. I felt immediate pain relief after ONE session, after a few sessions my range of motion was restored. Before my arms were so tight I could not even stretch them out.

I've been going regularly for about 2 months now and I would say it's like 80 percent healed. I know if I go for six months (for 3-4 times a week) it will probably be all healed.

It got rid of all my back pain and neck issues from the pc too. I used to get regularly massages for my back and arm pain and it didn't work as much as Bikram Yoga did. The massage helped it like a 3-4 and Bikram a 10; it got rid of pretty much everything!

The only problem is that you have to suffer in a hot ass room for 90 minutes and you have to put in work. But if you want to ease carpal tunnel pain it works. I guarantee it.

You can find a place near you on Yelp. Most studios have a cheap trial (like $25 for two weeks unlimited). If you go every day your pain will be diminished significantly. The heat really heals muscles and the postures increases your blood circulation so your blood will flow better and the aches will disappear. I read that many people healed their sports injuries and back problems with it

You will not be nauseous as long as you REALLY hydrate yourself beforehand and don't eat two hours prior.

If you have really bad pain and considering surgery, you have nothing to lose. So why not try it? And there are other side effects too; you will probably shed some inches around your waist. I didn't start Bikram to get fit at ALL, it was only to stretch to help with my carpal tunnel and back aches but I lost weight and firmed/toned up because of it too.
