I might have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

[Sonicdude41]

Okay, I'm typing this with my wrists resting on a huge book. I will type as much as I can.

Okay, a few weeks ago, I was minding my own business as usual. I was browsing around the internet, as I do usually. It was time to get off and was time for bed.

Day after, I got on, and when I started typing a few words, I had this sensation just near where the ring finger starts. I resumed typing. It happened, this time, in the left. I told my teacher about it when I got to school the next day. She said that I might have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It seems I am paying for my excessive computer time. I must take the consequences.

So, don't expect me on for a few days. My precious hands need to heal. You're probably wondering why I'm even on now. I just had to share this for some reason. But, see ya'll in a few days.

Ouch, hope your wrists heal. My mom had CTS once, but she healed.

Hmm...I don't think I've ever heard of that. Well, I type a lot and really fast and hard, and my hands never really hurt that much. They jsut get tired after a while.

It's a thing with your wrist that usually requires surgery. It happens to people who type a lot and play instruments that require precise, fast, or constant wrist movement.

Basically any excessive strain on the wrist.

Just wondering but do you play guitar?

Weird. I was just reading at Wikipedia about it a few days ago because I was worried that I might eventually get it. I suggest you read it to to see if you have or not and what can be done. I don't know, maybe it'll help:

You know what else you can get by sitting on the computer too much?

Just a note . . . My mom keeps reminding me that I can get it if I sit too much without moving.

I think taking breaks in the middle of computer time helps prevent these

True, but that's a problem of mine...

Learn your lesson next time, I hope. Lay off the computer, or just don't type and stick to the mouse.

The mouse probably doesn't help either.

 

[Sporge27]

<:O
It doesn't? The mouse is just moving 1 finger.

 

[Bulerias]

Storm's right. The mouse keeps the wrist in a curved position, so it doesn't help.

Yeah, you use one finger to click, but what about moving the mouse?

 

[Kyle]

'o'

Didn't realize that. I think I had it once, but it was real minor. Just a few prickles. I got off after 10 min. later.

 

[AndyB]

Hope you get better!!

There was a pitcher in MLB a few years back who got it because his family lived in Central America and IMed with them for a couple hrs. daily...

Hope your wrist/hand heals SS!
