Man, that really sucks. Im sorry to hear that.

I had to go through all the voice recognition bullshit this summer after I got repetitive strain in both wrists (8+ hours computer stuff at job plus regular stuff when I got home was overdoing I guess hah). I didn't expect it at all until it came on strong. It sucked but after taking a break for about two months and making some changes (ergonomics, stretching if I know I'm typing for a while) I'm pretty much better. Still, it sucks that you have to go into surgery. Unfortunately it may be up to six months until you can really get back into things. Good luck with everything.

Urgh! This sucks to see, Jabba!

I did have a friend that went through some ops for CPS, and if it does make you feel better, he did recover, like maalox did. Of course, since he was a net addict, keeping him away from the keyboard for the 3 months was a nasty business. It's unbelievable the extents his wife went to keep him away from the keyboard....

No, not THAT. Dirty people....

Shit! So sorry to hear about your wrists guy.. take it easy and I hope that ur surgery is successful!


Love the snow ! by the way..

[WhiteP]

Sorry to hear that :cry: Jabba, may be you should take some rest, we can always wait for you to recover.. and I m sure you will recover quickly

[Billyjuan]

Holy Shit Man! Sorry to hear that :cry: , i wish u the best of luck with your surgery. I think my mom has the same problem u have and she says the pain sucks cause u cant do that much with the pain. But there is always OxyContin for the pain

Sorry to hear you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. From a medical point of view (I study medicine) quite a lot of people have had it. Did you have surgery for it yet? They cut a ligament, which is a sort of strap around your wrist. The strap presses on your nerves and that's why your fingers tingle. The operation is fairly easy and complications are slim. The only setback is that it can come back, but in most of the situations it doesn't. Anyway I wish you all the best and if you want info you can't get from the internet just ask. Good luck!

Damn that sounds bad.. Sorry to hear that Jabba.. Hope it will be ok as short as possible..

[jon_s]

Just had a thought, can you drive?? Will you be able to drive after the operation?

[novass]

sorry to hear about this Jabba. i can understand your pain, ive been working on my 2d animation final for the past couple of days and it feels like my hand is gonna fall off.

get well soon

This is bad news Jabba. It's one those things that makes one realise all the things we take for granted. I hope your surgery will go well and that you recover soon. Good to see that it won't stop you from "post whoring" here! That Dragon software sounds nice (can it scroll down internet pages as well?). Maybe it's something for me too, because sometimes I can feel a little pain in my shoulder when I've been checking JW out. It doesn't stop me from visiting this site all the time though.

[geekdiggy]

yo jabba, i've been meaning to ask you what's the update on your diagnosis and treatment and what not

[crazyxzer0]

I'm already starting to feel the hands started to build up for carpal. That's not good for jabba at all. hope surgery goes well jab!
