I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and all the work I know how to do involves harsh, repetitive movements (i.e. cleaning stalls, welding, manufacturing, etc.). I am seeking to retrain and have applied for a program through dissability. I don't know if they'll help me but how does one switch careers, if I have to?

After you contact your attorney (from the phone book), it's really not difficult. They'll set you up in a training program - pick anything you'd like to do for the rest of your life...usually a program under 2 years. Remember this is for the REST of your life, braces will work, but not forever and you can't be doing the same thing...Good luck!

no, i would try wearing the wrist braces as many hours a day as you can. they don't hurt,and they keep your nerves from moving every time you twist your wrists. they take so much of the pain away.
