Do You Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
 

Chronic pain from a generation of computer babies is going to be the biggest health concerns (that AND Nuclear Winter LOL) of the upcoming decades.

Okay....Everyone who feels they are going to be crippled in the next few years raise your hand....

What about it? Do you feel the day-to-day effects of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

I know I do... and judging by the many pictures of your desks that you sent in you people do too....

I have gout. :thumbsup

I had it last year, my half of my left hand was numb.

If you want to hear the exercise I was doing, hit me up at 155421. Believe me, it helped.

:thumbsup

I use splinted wrist wraps when it bothers me. Sleep with them for a couple of weeks and its gone for a few months. Best 30 bucks I have spent. :)

Fuck I would if I could...

Actually I've been lucky thusfar, nothing carpal on me yet...
I use wrist rests for my mouse & keyboard. I'm gonna invest in an Intuos tablet pretty soon too, that makes a big difference.

I have carpal tunnel vision. It's a bitch.

Colin is on acid, he became a posting machine :thumbsup

my hands are fucked uppp

Soul Rebel,

I'm just here for the signups. These guys are all jerks but this place is a mint.

i have crabs

The guy has baggy pants and flat feet, the happiest-looking little bastard you ever saw; makes itchy gestures as though he?s got crabs ?but he?s funny.

My GF had this symdrome. It started with it, now she hardly can do anything anymore ... beware ...

:1orglaugh and you fall for that?!

Not funny ..

VERY Funny.

Whahahahaha :thumbsup

uhhh... how do I prevent it?

/me raises hand for future case of it

I dont, learned how to sit properly...

If you really find it that funny, come and laugh in my face, i'll make sure yours will be fucked up ... or worse ..

Moron ..

I kinda think it's bullshit ... I have typed for hours and hours a day for at least 10 years now with no problems whatsoever...

My wrists/hands are fine however my shoulder burns as if someone has a fucking lit match on the muscle if I spend too much time on the computer typing and clicking.....nothing makes it better well nothing short of an all out massage

Masturbating cancels it out. It's true. I read it in a magazine.

I don't have that problem anymore.....my hands fell off so I can't type anymore....use my toes though! :eyecrazy

Me 2...:helpme

I would raise my hand but it's too painful....
my wrists and shoulder are so fucked up, I might have to skip the bowling league again this year :(

sometimes even picking up my kids can be painful....


and I tend to mumble, so even speech recognition software would suck ass..

I bet you used your right hand :thumbsup

The best treatment for sore muscles ive found so far is voltaren emulgel

u should be able to find something in your locale

this is the best stuff :thumbsup

I'm 27 and I've had it since I was 20. Fucking sucks.

There is a kind of glove, made of Lycra, with the fingers cut out and a soft wrap for the wrist. I wear it when I'm keyboarding, which is all the time.

Carol, I also get that pain in my shoulder and half my hand goes numb and gets cold, too. But, no pain in my wrists. They feel tired, mostly my right hand. Personally, I believe it to be bursitis in my shoulder, which gets aggravated.

When it gets to that burning stage, the only answer is to minimise the amount of mousing, wheeling or keyboarding...

I am limiting my posting right now and taking a few hours off, in between marathon work sessions. :-)

Equinox, I will be hitting you up on ICQ for your exercise. Whilst I don't think I have carpal tunnel, I need the use of my hands for a little longer. :-)

Dont have Carpal Tunnel but I did have an ugly ass dark spot on the bottom of my right wrist from dragging it across the desk for years. I just scored one of those mouse pads with the clear jello in it now Im all good! :thumbsup

Two words. Anger management.

Can't help it... my parents are from Sicily ... Now Fuck off :winkwink:

My grandfather was born in Sicily. He came to America in 1918. I'm a third generation WOP, I guess.

You know what blind people get when they read a lot of braille?...Carpel Tunnel Vision.

"You know what blind people get when they read a lot of braille?...Carpel Tunnel Vision."


Funny as shit, you make that up?

Yes and it hurts. My shoulder gets a horrible pain sometimes too. I'm glad my man gives me goooooood massages. :)

Typing doesn't seem to cause me a problem (I guess I don't do it that much) but my right hand and wrist often hurt from mouse usage. My desk setup is pretty bad (sitting at a round table!), so I can fix things if I need to.
