I used one for 11 years and I had tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand, both types of RSI. I tried witch hazel, which cooled the hot areas: then I tried special straps for the hand and physio: then acupuncture. No good. Then my doctor sent me to see a consultant who said I should have a carpal tunnel release operation as soon as possible. He warned me that if left too long, it might not work, so I went on the emergency list and had the op last June 2006. It is a lot better but my hand still spasms and aches and I assume it won't get any better now. There is nothing that can be done for tennis elbow. Is there anything that can be done to help your RSI and what is it called medically, as RSI covers a multitude of ills. ? Penny

Posts: 1886 11/19/07 22:50 Surrehue Norway	My mom has had op on both her hands for carpal syndrome, I have been told that your 3 first fingers on your hand should be numb og something, if you had this syndrome, I have my 2 last fingers getting numb and funny... The symptoms in this article, is how I feel... can I have this ? copy: RSI conditions have many varied symptoms. The following may indicate the onset of an RSI. Recurring pain (myalgia) or soreness in neck, shoulders, upper back, wrists or hands. Tingling, numbness, coldness or loss of sensation. Loss of grip strength, lack of endurance, weakness. Muscles in the arms and shoulders feel hard and wiry when palpated. Pain or numbness while lying in bed. Often early stage RSI sufferers mistakenly think they are lying on their arms in an awkward position cutting off circulation. Thank you Mosken, I have to see if I can find this in Norwegian.,,

Except he has more in his elbows, while mine is my wrist and three fingers -- not my thumb. I'm pretty sure I don't have a carpal tunnel. What helps me is to not touch my computer mouse or keyboard. And it is possible not to do that while using Dragon. But I sometimes need to rest my voice!

Posts: 5421 11/24/07 02:55 Queen of Tea USA	I have the tennis elbow according to my doc. But, I wear a wrist brace due to the thumb and wrist area having pain too. My hubby had carpel tunnel syndrome surgery on his right hand. And a cortisone shot on the left. Both seems to have helped him. And the job change seems to be even better. He was a baker, I will never know how he continued working with the pain he had. he couldn't even unroll his balled up socks at night without horrific pain. My pain started after my diagnosis for FMS. But, I was a sales clerk for years, and waited tables when I was younger so I used my hands and arms alot. God bless
