Found out today I most likely have Corporal Tunnel Syndrome

Wake up in the morning and fingers on both hands are hurrting and sore

Says i sleep wrong in fetal position when hand are twisted

Dr gave me a couple of wrist supports to wear at night

Have to go to neurolgists and take some tests

I guess typing at a computer most of the day causes it

Then i might need to have surgery

If its not one thing or another

guess it a part of being over 50

Here is the thing:

If you talk to most people who suffer from Carpal Tunnel syndrome they will tell you to not have the surgery. That it isn't worth it.

Most people just learn to live with it.

But I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get the proper help that you are looking for.

I had it pretty bad a number of years ago. I still (10 years later) make sure that when I go to sleep, my right hand is stretched out straight under my pillow. Good luck - hopefully the braces will make a difference. :)

I've had surgery in both hands a couple of years ago. The pain was unbearable. Nothing would work to relieve the pain except surgery.
