Question Anyone know anything about carpal tunnel syndrome ?

I 'think' I have carpal tunnel syndrome ........ But hoping i haven't, as I have heard up to 6 months off work, and I can't be doing that.

I have done a Google on the subject, and I don't like the idea of it, Has anyone on here suffered from it ?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, I thought you were refering to an addiction to loud exhausts and flames, for which I was going to recomend you join your car pals on the 27th of October for a group meeting.

Seriously though matey you need to get some support on it when you are working. I am sure they do like athritis wrist/hand supports which have ribs in to restrict movement.

Phil,

You've got to hand it to Gail, she knows her stuff





Mind you, you'd better do it as Nate can't hand anything to her

I did a study on Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, CTS, where back at Uni, and it's basically an increased pressure on a nerve in the wrist.

Most likable cause is one's nature of work. Peeps that work with their wrists are more at risk especially people who use vibrating tools. No wonder women are more at risk.

There are lots of information on the net, I believe surgery can repair this and the good thing is you don't have to be knocked out. Just hope you have a nice theatre nurse at hand to rub the pain away.

Hope it gets sorted fella.
