Re-visit on the subject of Carpel Tunnel Syndrom
Hey fellow Cast Boolit Brothers...
I posted awhile back on my suffering with Carpel Tunnel, and I just wanted to leave a note on a miraculous cure for me, as so it may help some of you also.
The wife bought me some "Ace" brand thumb wrist braces from Wally world, that have COMPLETELY stopped the pain, burning, tingling, etc. You slide your wrist and thumb in, and stap the velcro straps shut. It has a hard contoured bottom, and elastic upper that take the pressure off instantly.
It seems to stop the problem after wards too. I've been working hard lately, and as soon as I feel a tingle, I put it on and it goes away.
They are not cheap. Bout $20 a side, and they are black, with blue in the inside. Don't have a model number.
I feel like I can go on and keep building without fear of surgery now...

A blow to higher education
Gee Pat, you mean you don't want to, out of the goodness of your heart, chip in and pay for a year of college for the doctor's kid? What a world...
Seriously, with luck you will continue to avoid the surgery. It's good to have a non-pharmacutical alternative, too. If you take the pills, you can be making things worse because they make you ignore your body telling you to slow down. If we were meant to make our way through life by hindsight, we'd have eyeballs where our rectums are and all be full of fertilizer. Happy Holidays! :grin:
