I joke about having carpal tunnel syndrome, but I’m 99 certain that I’m at the very least developing it. How can someone work with computers 8-12 hours per day, every day, year round, for years on end, and eventually not develop it? Come to think of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if our generation (20-somethings) manages to set some kind of world record as far as documented cases of carpal tunnel syndrome. Between the typing/texting/touching we do with computers, phones, MP3 players, and other devices, we’re constantly abusing and overworking our poor wrists!
Speaking of which, my mom has/had it, and she had both of her wrists operated on for it back in 2004 and 2005. I took her to both surgeries and stayed with her for a few days afterward each time. She said the recovery wasn’t too bad, though she was definitely sore and tender for a few weeks. But hey, seeing as how I’ve been through childbirth, a c-section, and gastric bypass surgery, I can’t imagine not being able to handle some minor cuts to my wrist and hand!
