Can your career world really limited by Carpal Tunnel syndrome?

Question

I get tingling in the pinky and i try not to use the comptuer much but my hobbies sometimes are computer related. I also try the guitar at times but it's not like I play hardcore for 24 hours straght .

I am looking for a job now and have noticed most jobs that i would be competent in require typing. I have been trying to avoid those kinds of jobs but seems there isn't a way out. For example my experience has been in the office support area, and most jobs want you to type 40 50wpm.. I'm just not gonna do it anymore. i had a few temp jobs where i typed alot but before i didn't suffeer from this hand problem.

If i ignore the CTS my hands will just die,, so how can i find a job? My resume has "good with computers" because i have alot of experience in that, but i ca'nt even and don't even want a job with much computing involved. So how do people with CTS deal? Please dont suggest surgeries because i'm not the kind of people who is for casual surgery like many other people.
