I have been working for the past few months, I am on my computer alot typing. I will be going into the doctor on Thursday, to find out what is wrong with my wrists. I have read up on carpel tunnel. It sounds like it except that I am not within the age group at all. My mom explained to me that everyone on my dad's side of the family that has had it have always needed surgery to correct the problem. I hope mine wont ever get that far.

Please wish me luck for thursday! I think I will need it.

Most people I know get by with wrist braces if it's caught early, not surgery. Unless there's something structurally different about your wrists, I bet you won't have to visit Sir Jury right away!

Good luck :)

You might not be in the age group, but people are taking up computers earlier and earlier in life, so maybe the medical literature hasn't caught up yet ;)

Hope you've caught it early and don't need surgery.
