I apparently got it from what i do in work, from repettive movement, as I have been a cashier in a supermarket for ten yrs, I was thinking of building a law suit against them, could somebody give me some useful info on doing so, or if you got the same disorder from the same thing could you please let me know.

I used to get it so bad that at night I couldn't sleep because of the pain. Not sure if you can build a law suit, you can probably get L&I.
I've known someone who got carpal tunnel and took time off from work for surgery and came back and got laid off. Corporations have a lot of power, all they care about is the bottom line $$$$. Corporate greed in America is out of control! Building a law suit can be very stressful and it can take a long time to go to court; do you really want to carry that kind of stress around with you for years and maybe not win?
My advice is to focus on a solution. The best thing to do is to hold your wrists up high when you're typing. This helps a lot and it increases your typing speed. Ask your company to get you a carpel tunnel rest support. Buy braces for your wrists from a sporting goods store. When my wrists get sore I wear braces and it helps a lot. I wear them around the house when I'm working in the yard. Holding your wrists up high and wearing braces when you feel a slight pain can help tremendously. This can prevent having surgery. You must protect your wrists. Whenever I feel a slight pain in my wrist I pull out my wrist braces. Try and prevent going to court and having surgery.

I had carpal tunnel several years ago. Someone suggested that I go to a chiropractor and I refused but finally gave in. He got rid of the carpal tunnel in just a few vistis. It made me into a believer in a GOOD chiropractor. If you want to find relief you might think of giving it a try.

I had someting similar in my thumb, several years ago. Read an article about a Vit. B-6 study by he German government. Went to the drug store and got some B-6, and within a few days it was gone.

I had an EMG , when I complained of wrist pain . The neurologist , who did the test , told me I had a problem in my neck , that the pain in my wrists was secondary to cervical problems . He referred me to a neurosurgeon , and I had a procedure called Anterior Cervical Diskectomy Fusion . This was in March . My neck still hurts like hell , and I still am awaiting surgery on both my wrists . So , not to bore you any longer , but , you should ask your primary care provider to show you the EMG rsults , it may show a bigger problem . God bless , and good luck .

sorry it is non sueable. Millions of people suffer from it,
I use magnets on mine, and no problems, but they are special magnets too.
Other people have had surgery.
