Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

[dancedanceeyeah]

I need to stop self diagnosing ...

[steeltowner49]

I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand and it is a real pain. I have been using my left hand for years to press my remote control buttons to surf, set program times, cancel programs, look days ahead at the sceduled programs, cancel this, surf to that. I am convinced this constant use of my remote is what caused it. Oh well, good for some things bad for others (remotes)

[manora1]

I use my hands almost in everything I do in mylife (A LOT),

[cybercop112]

i think i have for playing to much guitar and bass

[SweetlySammie]

i write a lot.

"Hello today i will be discussing carpal tunnel syndrome.... Carpal tunnel syndrome is a bitch and a major pain in the ass, especially if you don't have a girlfriend or attractive roommate."

[cxgamer]

Lol WoW is a walk in the park for the wrist when you compare it to Stepmania.

[somebassdude]

@baldladie That could be Raynaud's, if ure hands turn red/purple / white fingers

[carpaltunnelcenter]

This is great information! LOL at all the WOW players who watched this. ;)

No biggie though, just visit my channel or watch my video: watch?v=Gr1u_xgrc30 to learn how to control carpal tunnel syndrome.

[mothelian]

can you get rid of that crap music in the background so people can actually focus on the info? Cheers

[RetardedSatanStudios]

So that explains the pain in my wrists, and i thought it was growing pains.

[JKDspirit]

powerball is the cure

[sam421kc]

fuck i play wow

[MrTruerunescaper]

crap i play runescape..

[torritornado]

I am so glad I learned about this! I do martial arts, play guitar, knit, crochet, play video games, and a ton of artwork, so I will have to be alot more careful.....

[Written256]

I have this, and it's annoying, and painful, and I'm only 15!

[purplederple]

@Written256 Dito.

[ilovesteve7]

i got this from playing guitar hero omg it sucks so freaking bad and hurts like hell

[Jrsygirrl]

does anyone complain of numbness in three fingers; thumb fore and middle fingers? I have that in left hand and in right hand i had carpal tunnel surgery but now have trick finger thumb in that hand and alot of pain in middle part of forearm

[helloadios12]

I should do something else than being on the computer more than 6 hoursa day

[VBH8888]

but if i narrow it down i dont think that me doing Martial arts has to do with it i think its the way most of u guys eat. eat all that processed shit.  like i have like pizza what 1s a month or every 2 to 3 months

[VBH8888]

I never had it in my life. I type alot and tex alot and everything. maybe it has to do with it that ive been doing full contact amrtial arts since 3 and i do push ups on my fingers and we have strong and good streched wrists so we can pretty much nerver sprain em when punching.

[airwayskies]

I have it and it is not pleasant.

[TheMPB]

I used to get this because I would pick up heavy boxes all day. I just changed the way I picked up the boxes....problem solved. As for typing, I got a wrist rest....A little pad you can get to put under your wrists that really help when typing. Wrist braces do help to when you are doing something you know you cannot change the position of your wrist while doing it.

[zoddie]

I play drums..and jerk off ...so thats like totally againts me lol.

I think I'm getting the beginnings of this syndrome.

[markbriones3]

lol... so i should stop playing guitar too, pc games and uhmm my gf will do the jerkin... to lessen the syndrome...lol

[erikchicom]

I think you should stop the jerking off and to cut your memeber off ,to prevent further discomfort. you can probably still play the drums:)

[PERUANO31]

weightlifting has gotten me using splints

fuck!!!!

[BountyHunter233]

playing bass, banjo, double bass, mandolin, guitar, and shamisen has done that to me

[chip939]

all that world of warcraft......FUCK!

[VBH8888]

i play WoW and do martial arts i never got it in my life

[CorruptedPenguin]

I did the stretches that the guy said, now my wrist hurts... :(

[WeNjIbOo]

To avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Wank less!!

[razgreez9]

[stonerj0e]

they showed bending the wrist down . *NEVER* do that ever .

[gothkyd]

crap, I think I've got it, I'm working really hard to get an animated special out for christmas and my wrist is really starting to feel it. not to mention the time i'm not working on it, i'm at work on the computer. my eyes can handle it but my wrist can't take much more. oh well I'll rest once the christmas special is fully animated.

[meintellygent]

I think playing my guitar every day and lifting bricks has ruined me.

[KevoCatz302]

man me2.....i've got cubital tunnel syndrome instead...can't play guitar now...sux~~~

[zowbaid89]

I think guitar has done that to me too.

[divahayleylouise]

ive just had my operation and it fucking kills

[kurtnagel]

hahahaha. yeah ive been playing drums for about a year but after switching to french grip i noticed my thumb and wrist are getting some pain after my workout. i hope that's not why

[mawee95]

this is wat i have and im only in 7th grade im in band so i bend my hand alot cus of the instrument i play.....i need surgery.

[Haseeb2]

This man is wrong about CTS surgery. Surgery has a rather high failure rate and permanently weakens the hand.

[Desu666]

my hands aren't numb or painful but I feel that my hands are weak sometimes, is it because of carpal tunnel? :S

[critictoevery1]

my friend came to school and he really did have carpal tunnel he was in immense pain and couldn't move it up or down without it hurting. Even when i applied a little bit of pressure it hurt him

[boredjoey]

my arm hurts. like not my hand or wrist. my funny bone it seems like. does anybody know what i can do about that.

[seatac77]

I've that pain for a few months...and I could not stop using typing ...my wrist brace helps me a lot--

[deadpool2099]

"Symptoms rarely re-occur after surgery?" Bullshit, try 30-50% depending on study.

[RandWon]

My wrists always seem to hurt while jerkin off. The pain resides once I blow my load all over my chest though. Do I have carpal?

[Azeztulite]

Good information but the bassy music in the background is FAR too high and is distracting from the message

[koko56]

Good

[batdude56]

Great stuff, but the driving bass-beat was distracting to me.

[plna86]

i agree!!

[tyrantfaZz]

What about drumming? My wrist move or I can't play... What should I do then?

[drbadia]

nice review but comment about relationship to typing or "wrist overusage" is inaccurate and has no scientific basis. Metabolic etiologies were not mentioned. Good intro with nice drawings. Dr. Badia

[johnaiton]

I used my wrists too much by following a 12 hour guitar workout for 2 months solid,

I had no previous problems, but after BAM! CTS

I wouldn't say inaccurate, on the button for me

[ljubavniratnik]

johnaiton yeah i am gettin paying lately i been playing so much!i been playing for 15 years and never had problems before!its fucking my shit up

[morcnolder]
