View Full Version : Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Pitooey2 12-12-2002, 10:04 AM Who here has Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? You know the keyboard hand numbing. I have it and it's really driving me crazy. My hand constantly goes numb when I sleep and drive. I think it's getting worse. I hope I won't need surgery. I got it because I use to work as a Data entry operator.:mad: *Melissa* 12-12-2002, 08:27 PM I don't, but I'm sure I will get it, being in a computer-related field and all.

Too much typing and Flute playing :mad: Ags2000 12-12-2002, 08:57 PM Been there, done that, had the surgery, have the scar to prove it :D D fr00ti 12-12-2002, 09:05 PM Well, my wrists and knuckles do creak everytime I move them so maybe I have it. I think my mom has it in her thumb.

How long is the scar? Did you stay in the hospital? How long did it take to heal?:santa: Ags2000 12-12-2002, 10:36 PM Originally posted by Pitooey2 Okay I must question you Ags2000... LOL..........

As far as it healing, umm...I had a splint on it for several months prior to the surgery because I was waiting till school ended to have my surgery. I had a little splint on for about a month I guess after the surgery, no big deal. It's all good now.

Ive been on the computer for so long.. its surprising I dont have it now! Pitooey2 12-13-2002, 11:44 AM :thanks: Thank you AGS............. Now I won't be reluctant to have the surgery. :snowman3: :) ~LadyJess~ 12-13-2002, 11:01 PM I think I had it or something like it. 3 summers ago my wrist was killing me, it wouldn't hurt when I bent it but when I turned it from side to side. I wore a splint for 3 days and then I was fine. |
