Carpal Tunnel?

[Dr. Doom]

Nope. Just lots of typing, mouse clicking and gaming.

I'm having a hard time trying to describe the pain from Carpal Tunnel. When you bend your wrist to type, does it feel like all of the muscles in your hand are severley sore?

It almost sounds like Carpal Tunnel to me,(except the jaw part) and I'd see a doctor quickly. Advance stages of it can require surgery. When I had my wisdom teeth removed I wasn't feeling any pains in my hands so I'm not familiar what that would feel like.

Also, check your wrists up through to your palms for any bumps that could possibly a cyst.

It's just sort of a general feeling, really. I don't notice much of a difference when I'm typing and when I'm just laying there scratching myself or whatever. Maybe it increases a little bit, but certainly nothing dramatic. I should also note that now there's less of a stiffness and more of a soreness. But none of this is in my wrist, it's all pretty much localized to the lower parts of the fingers on my right hand, mostly the 2 middle fingers. Also, I don't really notice any cysts. I guess what I'm hoping for is that I like messed up my ahnds when I slept on 'em funny or something and that they'll eventually just feel better.

Ok, if it's carpal tunnel that sounds like a pretty light case. (Otherwise, you'd hurt like hell when moving your hand in certain ways.) To me, it kind of does sound like carpal tunnel (Except when I went to the doctor my wrist hurt as well, but that could have been just my case.) Try resting your hands for a day, or a good few hours and see if the stiffness and soreness dies down.

Edit: and if you have a hand brace laying around the house (Your regular drug store type) try wearing it to see if it helps any

Sounds like a light case of CT. I use a computer at my job, then come home and play games and use the computer more, so I've gotten it. Never seriously though, thank God.

Is it something that comes and goes?

It could develop into something bad if you don't do something about it.

Yep. Comes and goes. Sometimes I'm at work and I'm typing away and I just feel my wrists start to sting, my finger joints feel like their locking and any large movements with my hands will give me a sharp pain. I just go home and avoid doing anything but the most basic of tasks with my hands and I ice them down a bit. Sometimes my wrist swells a bit, but my doctor said that's just from the akward way have to rest them on my desk when I work. 6 months later they still haven't given me anything to rest my wrists on, or given me a larger desk to work with.

Everyone is just telling him that if it's really bugging him and he hurts all the time to go see a doctor to be safe. Maybe we don't want a friend to get hurt? I know it's hard for you to understand friendship, since you're such a hardcore, bad ass, unconforming, anti-social lone wolf, but some of us would rather have people we know be safe rather than sorry.
