Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Factory worker here: Carpel tunnel is epidemic in factories......those who have the surgery are not cured if they keep doing the things that caused it in the first place, and will get arthritis as time goes on. It does not start in the arm and wrist, it starts in the spine. Find a good Chiropractor before you let some one cut on your tendons. I run large air guns all day long, I got the 'broken wrist' braces at the Drug store with the STEEL inserts in them, and wear them while I work. Those wimpy little plastic ones are for night, to hold the wrist straight, which they do a good job of. But, change how you work to get to the bottom of your problem. If you work at a 'puter all day, have your boss change your work station to egonomic specs.....and keep fixing things and changing them until it works for you.
