I have early onset Carpal Tunnel.

I guess I really am old.

It's not serious, I have wrist braces and some exercises to do and it should go away since I caught it very early on. But it's still annoying.

So who's up for for some Rock Band?!

Maybe you should switch to vocals.

Crap, that's awful, I'm sorry.

Oy, that sucks. Which symptom triggered you to get checked? Having the dropsies, or the random numbness?

People have laughed at my split keyboard and wrist pads for years. Here's to hoping that my proper ergonomics fends off the CTS beast for as long as possible.

I was having difficulty gripping things for a long time. In less than the amount of time it took to wipe the snow off my car, my hand hurt enough that I had to switch to the other one. There were a few other general soreness/discomfort things that didn't seem right, which prompted me to go see the doctor.

Though my friend who is a PT looked at it this weekend and said she things it might just be tendinitis. But the treatment at this stage is largely the same so...
