I've had bilat. ct for over 17 yrs and could not have surgery due to reflex sympathetic dystrophy as well. That's an extreme sensitivity to heat and cold. My nuerosurgeon consult told me that's a bad combination to have and that if he did surgery it could further cripple both hands by exposing the nerves. Since I was a younger woman at the time with 2 young children he rejected that option. I underwent about 5 mos. of phys. therapy that restored me to 60 and 65% mobility. each hand. My phys. therapist told me from the start that based on the severity of my case that I would not be restored to 100 percent. Back then I was a night typist who typed stacks of legal documents 6hrs a night/5 nights a wk for about 8 mos. before my symptoms surfaced. It was very scary for me as well, because my entire arm went numb from the shoulder down---while I was holding my infant son in a parking lot! <br><br>As I mentioned to you earlier, I'm now seeking information on products that may help at the cellular level as well as naturopathically as I have recently started experiencing "heat spots" at the base of my thumb areas. I'm hopping on this information right away. Glad you're feeling better, Shawn. I've had bilat. ct for over 17 yrs and could not have surgery due to reflex sympathetic dystrophy as well.

(Yoga). Works for me every time my wrists start hurting & everyone I've recommended it o are amazed it works. One even had a cyst pop that medical treatment had not gotten rid of.

Good for you for not going the surgical route. So many people have carpal tunnel surgery and end up with the same problems only 2-3 years later, because the surgery really doesn't fix the underlying problems which cause the inflammation of the tendons.

Glad to hear you looked into, and found, other solutions… one additional thing you can try (if these changes don't alleviate it entirely) is to get a massage 1-3 times/month from a Neuro Muscular Rehab (NMR) specialist.

Congratulations on recovery and for investigating non-surgical solutions to a problem which should hardly ever be resolved with surgery.

Glad that you're doing better. I'm in my late 30's and about 10 years ago my doctor warned me about carpal tunnel. I didn't listen and after years of computer/keyboard work my wrists & hands were hurting pretty bad.

Recently, after switching to a ergo keyboard & trackball mouse, (+ hand & wrist massages from my wife) I'm feeling much, much better, so much so that I no longer need to wear my splint every night. I still put on wrist straps when doing heavy lifting.

My dad got it from 30 years of factory work and I learned the hard way, that you can get it from sitting behind a desk as well.

Maybe get a docking station for the laptop or just connect an external keyboard and mouse, so you can prop up the screen.

I believe the most desirable position is for the top of your screen to be at eye level.

I wonder how the monitor stand works with a laptop though?
