Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

I don't, but I'm sure I will get it, being in a computer-related field and all.

My cousin has that.

I think I'm on the verge of getting it. Too much typing and Flute playing

Been there, done that, had the surgery, have the scar to prove it

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.

Okay I must question you Ags2000... LOL.......... How long is the scar? Did you stay in the hospital? How long did it take to heal?

The scar is about 3/4 an inch.

No I did not stay in the hospital, THAT surgery was a day surgery.

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.

Pitooey2 · 12-13-2002, 11:44 AM

Thank you AGS............. Now I won't be reluctant to have the surgery.

~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.
