I appreciate this long message!
I totally agree... I think people don't realize how they do or don't sit and goodness knows what else they do while they're working!
I'm sure I have some sloppy habits that need attention, but in the meantime... owie!!!! I gotta do something immediately.
I've been wearing wrist splints at night for a year. Aleve daily for a year. Vitamin B6 high doses, yoga exercises (both tried them and quit them with no change), several ergo keyboards (trying each for long enough time to give them a fair chance)... I wear typing gloves when I work... I've done just about everything "OTC" that can be done. I bought a new desk. I bought a new chair.
I just basically have CTS. ;-)
The problem has been attributed, at least in my case, to an anatomical brachial plexus "suffocation", for lack of a better term. (I can't attest to the validity of this; can only tell you what I've been told) However, I've been told that even with surgery, the problem will just recur because of this.
I TOTALLY agree about being kicked by someone else. I'm looking to just finally get out of MT, but of course I need a paycheck in the meantime. And... I'm sorry, but I think CTS SHOULD count as a disability. Tell anyone with this problem that it is not disabling, and they'll probably crack you over the head with their metal splints.
Thanks again for all your input. And I'll be sure to check out that link. |
