Lisa,

I had a bad case of carpel tunnel earned honestly by gaming. Hitting that right index finger on the mouse far too many times did it. I fixed it simply by swapping the left for right clicks in the mouse control program. Then your third and fourth fingers can easily hit the go button and it doesn't twist your arm the same way it does with your index finger. Anyway it worked for me and it's worth a try as it only takes seconds to change. Another benefit is it makes it hard for others to easily use your computer, that is unless you tell them about your mouse. :)

Subject : CS>OT(Sorry!) Carpal tunnel

(Please forgive this off topic question, but maybe someone will say to
soak my wrists in CS!)
I have recently started a part time data entry job and I am concern
about developing carpal tunnel. I am a knitter too, so sometimes I
feel some twinges there already. Do any of you wise ones have any
suggestions?TIA Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Yes you could soak your wrists in CS and DMSO mixture. :-) that should take the CS in to the possible inflammation sites. Taking CS before should act as a preventative. I would also do stretch, lubricate and relax. I would also do gentle stretching and bending of the wrists before starting the work. Like warm up execises to get into condition. I would also drink my full quota of water every day and perhaps take a suitable oil to lubricate the tissues internally. Also I would do "dancing at the keyboard" often as I can: shifting on seat, blinking, changing eye focus, to break the tension and held stiffness. Relax and try to think a pleasant scene at the end of each line of data.
Good luck,
Tony

PS. if you were Waynes dog he would beat you and shout at you to get on with your knitting. :-(
