so, what are the warning signs of carpal tunnel syndrome? and how to protect oneself?
carpal tunnel syndrome is where the artery (vein?) on your inner wrist becomes inflammed
so i would imagine, pain in the inner wrist
reduction in ability to move your hand via your wrist
Type like you learned in school (if you had a class for it). Hold your hands over the edge of the keyboard (dont let them lay down on the edge of the keyboard)
don't do any repetitive action for a very long time

You're calling Dr Strangelove a quack?

This is important.
These actions include using a mouse and typing on the keyboard. You need to take a break at least every hour.

Well, I'm not trying to show anyone up. It's just that a major institution of doctors that specialize in related fields to the syndrome ought to know better than 99.99% of the posters. I can't speak for our resident doctors as I don't know their specific qualifications.
The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

Ask Horsie, he'd be delighted to introduce you in the various types of syndromes, their causes, and their remedies.

That's not a joke. Do forearm curls with a dumbell or barbell. I saw my carpel tunnel go away in about a month.

The first symptom is usually a feeling of numbness in the palm and / or fingers 1 through 3 in the morning or after heavy use of the hands. The tendons to the fingers of the hand and the edian nerve enter the hand through a sort of tunnel, the carpal tunnel. the tendons are surrounded by lubricating sheaths called synovia. If the synovia swell due to heavy use and "repetitive trauma" pressure on the nerve may increase to the point of impairing circulation to the nerve. At first this expresses itself as relatively short periods of numbness easily relieved by rest, but if untreated may lead to permanent sensory impairment and even weakness and wasting of the thumb and fingers.
The condition can be treated by splinting the wrist at night and when being used. Splinting reduces the friction between the tendons and synovia which presumably also reduces the swelling. Anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen are useful, as is re-designing the offending tasks to make them less stressful on the wrist. Sometimes steroid injections help, and finally, there are surgical procedures that relieve the pressure in the carpal tunnel space.
Another theory is that the afflicted may have had a curse put upon him. The curse can be lifted by finding the person who cast the spell and driving spikes through his or her hands. The procedure won't work however if you reveal the name of whomever told you how to break the spell.
