I read all kinds of literature on carpal tunnel -- I tried just about everything -- what helped me the most was swimming. Swim some laps (seriously) every day and your problems will be gone probably in a week and you'll feel a lot healthier ;) Also if you do a lot of mouse work (you graphics people) -- get a drawing tablet -- that really helped me more than any fancy trackball or other gadget. You can hold the stylus very lightly and it's much more accurate and efficient than using a mouse.
I was at the point where I couldn't even do one pushup or pullup -- even opening doors or using a screwdriver was painful -- same for picking up plastic grocery bags -- don't fuck around w/ carpal tunnel -- it can disable your entire body if it gets bad enough and after a certain point the damage is irreversable --
unless you get an operation, but then if you don't heal properly you can have problems using your hands! -- never in a million years would I get that operation -- I saw some pics on the net of how they cut open your wrists and it's the worst fucking thing I've ever seen -- I'd rather give up computers entirely than get this operation.
