Question

I dont think I am on a computer enough for it to be that corpal tunnel thing . The pain is weird it goes on for a few days then goes away then comes back

Answer 1

alot of people that think they can't get carpal tunnel end up with it!!

my mom is a kindergarten teacher and spends most of her time interacting with her students and not on the computer-she had surgery for carpal tunnel 3 years ago!!

Symptoms usually start gradually, with frequent burning, tingling, or itching numbness in the palm of the hand and the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers.The symptoms often first appear in one or both hands during the night, since many people sleep with flexed wrists.As symptoms worsen, people might feel tingling during the day. Decreased grip strength may make it difficult to form a fist, grasp small objects, or perform other manual tasks.

arthritis is another common problem (especially in the joints like the wrists and knees) there are two types. osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive condition that destroys the smooth articular cartilage covering the ends of bones. The bare bones rub against each other, resulting in pain, stiffness and weakness. OA can develop due to normal "wear-and-tear" on the wrist or as a result of a traumatic injury to the forearm, wrist or ligaments.

RA of the wrist joint usually manifests will swelling, tenderness, limited motion and decreased grip strength. In addition, hand function may be impaired and there may be pain in the knuckle joints

Joint swelling may also put pressure on the nerves that travel through the wrist. This can cause a lesion to develop (compression neuropathy) or lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.

treatment for arthritis can be simple and usually surgery cannot be avoided.

-modify your activity
-immoblize your wrist in a splint for a short period of time
-take ibuprofen (has an anti-inflammatory in it as well). 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours
-talk to your dr about a steriod injection for the pain

either way you should see your dr

Answer 2

You might have carpon tunel syndrome. Cause my roommate has it too. But she has also pre exposed Arthritis. Her wrist on both hands are sometimes so swollen up and so numb she can bearly move em. Its caused by over excertion from repitition of multi tasking at the office.

What can be done is? By computers have an ergonomic keyboard installed.
Have the right heights of a chair that supports you . Also when often on the computer have an ergonomic mouse.
