Hi everyone
I think I'm suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand which got me thinking is this quite common in our profession? What do you do to relieve the pain?

You really need to go to a doctors to have it diagnosed properly. They will be the best to advise you what to do.
I had this a few years back but it went when I followed my doctors advice.

I get intermittent pain/irritation in my right (mouse) hand. It's annoying , and I find using a decent mouse helps, and indeed stopping and doing something different. It's not got to the point where I feel the need to see a doctor as it's very occasional. As Jo says, you should go see your doctor though.0

I've got a doctors appointment booked but in the meantime I'm dosing up on paracetemol! It's not as painful today but my fingers feel really stiff and difficult to move0

My nan had that and also a neighbour. They both had a minor op where the nerves are cut. All fine now0

I have had it in both hands over the years. Mine came on very suddenly and was so bad when it first hit that I could not even balance a bar of soap in the affected hand to get washed.
Up here in the frozen north they try to avoid the operation for it. I have splints to use whenever it flares up now - they bend the hand backwards very slightly to stretch out the swollen part of the wrist.
What I find helps is ibuprofen (reduces the swelling) and taking water tablets for a couple of days. That usually settles it down.0 -
I had this a few years ago - from overuse of my mouse! I was eventually given a steroid injection in my wrist and haven't had a problem since. Mind you I make sure that I alternate my mouse hand every few days so this has probably helped as well - not so proficient with my left hand but perseverence helped! Good luck.0
