John,

I'm sure you'll get many suggestions and anecdotes from other listmembers. 
My single biggest suggestion is this: see a physical therapist! A PT can 
teach you stretches and strengthening exercises for the fingers, wrists, 
and forearms that can offset a great deal of the problems caused by 
repeatedly using (or abusing) the same muscles over and over. Depending on 
the nature and severity of your CT, other treatments may also be 
appropriate, but the key thing about the strengthening/stretching 
exercises is that they treat the source of the problem, not just the 
symptoms.

Speaking from experience....
Cindy

Carpal Tunnel







Hi, guys...I've been experiencing CTS symptoms over the last two
months. I saw a neurologist yesterday and he believes the same thing.
Therefore, I'm going in for further testing in about a week.
