It’s all about having the correct furniture. The right chair desk aand arrangement of your phone system and computers can work wonders when workers are taught correct posture and work positions.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome which all began from spraining my fingers while sleeping last year. I think they were curled in and I slept on them like that and it caused a sprain. I do a lot of work on the computer so I was using my sprained hands and they were really hurting but I just kept typing and I realized after a couple of days that it was getting far worse and turned into unbelievable pain. My hands would turn to ice and go numb whenever I used them and there was just a constant pain. I couldn’t even hold a fork without having pain. It was excruciating. I went to the doctor and he diagnosed it as CTS and gave me a prescription to bring down the inflammation and started me on exercises. I also started wearing wrist braces at night. It’s a year and a half later and it still flares up sometimes but now I know better and rest my hands when I get the feeling they have had enough. It took about 15 months for me to feel like I might be over the worst of it. Unbelievable.

I had carpel tunnel surgery, but working on the computer seams to just aggravate the problem.
Being left handed, I use the mouse with my right hand, so my right wrist is swelling from the constant use, or abuse.
