Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?I was just recently diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel syndrome, I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for pain relief. It bothers me when I'm texting, typing, the simplest things such as opening a jar. I have a brace for night time relief, but should I be wearing it during the day sense it really bothers me? Does anyone have any ideas that have worked for them? thanks. [ Read More ]

Do I Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?! I'm Only 14...?I did the tests where you tap the nerve path and do the T-shape thing and the tips of my fingers, mostly between my first finger and thumb get tingly, and my wrists hurt.

I text a lot... like at least 1,500 a month so I'm freakin out that I have CTS What else can I do to test this? Anything? How long before I know that I need to see a doctor/know I have it?

What's Up With Texting?Hello everyone. Call me old-fashioned but I am having a really hard time understanding what all the fuss is about regarding the current widespread practice of 'texting.' One hears of young people who spend hours a day in this activity, of teenagers who send out hundreds, even thousands, of text messages each month, or week. Young people have been caught Texting while in class, while driving, while in the shower. Why not just call the other person? It is much faster, more direct, and saves wear and tear on the fingers. Soon, I suppose, there will be a new kind of 'carpal Tunnel syndrome' afflicting the millions of teens who are ruining their thumbs with the incessant key tapping. Is Texting that much cheaper? Is it more cool to leave messages than to talk in real time? Does it get addictive, like playing video games? Someone clue me in, please. [ Read More ]
