Anyone have any experience with this condition? I fear i have developed it and am considering possible avenues of treatment. I am fearful however that doctors will tell me to stop training for a prolonged amount of time which i simply cannot do. So has anyone thwarted carpal tunnel syndrome without cortisone injections and thousand dollar surgeries with less than stellar success rates? If so please tell me how!
Also, I googled "carpal tunnel cure" and this site: http://www.mycarpaltunnel.com/ was the first that came up, any thoughts on it?
Thank you for your time.
p.s. I have purchased wrist braces and have been wearing them for quite some time but I find they help only slightly.
My mom had surgery on both hands for carpal tunnel syndrome. Luckily for her the condition went away and 5 years later she barely has any issue with it.

are you getting the pain from computer work, writing with a pen, or mma training?

Started from CPU work back in July, and usually it would only come from cpu work. never used to bother me from training until about a week ago.
You can try moving the mouse to the left-hand side. Raising your chair, lowering your keyboard, putting a pad under your wrists when you are typing. Buying a "split" keyboard that is angled inward. Using voice-recognition software to type for you when you're not at work. Do any of these ideas help you?

I could try them, anything over that will avoid surgery.
Sorry to hear that it is affecting you. I am a little surprised to hear it hitting someone like you, usually it is just used as an excuse for lazy middle-aged fat women who don't want to work and want to collect disability. But that is from a jaded insurance guy who has seen his fair share of bulls--- WC claims. Every once in a while, an actual case crops up, and that's a sucky condition when it does.
Come on, Brick, give about half of them the benefit of the doubt that they are not faking it? I mean, some people have jobs where they incur repetitive stress injuries, like data entry keyers, factory workers, even tennis players...
