The Mindbody Prescription by Dr. John Sarno is a must read for anyone who thinks they have Carpal Tunnel.

Is it really that hard to prevent getting a carpal tunnel? Just avoid resting on your wrists. I normally use bottom area of my palm (not wrists!) to rest at the very edge of a table/desk with the keyboard pulled up close to that edge. Lesson learned, but it wasn't that hard to avoid it.

Being a musician and someone who sits in front of a computer all day I could use this. I better act quick before it gets too late for my wrists..

I think this is a great idea. My wife has RSD in her foot and hands (a horrible disease, worse than pretty much any other disease) and when she initially was getting diagnosed doctors did a lot of pushing and proding on her which caused massive amounts of pain. It would be nice to be able to use technology to diagnose these things in a pain-free way.

I've noticed that after years of typing and video games, my fine motor skills and ability to make acute movements in certain positions has decreased. There has got to be a better way to protect joints and ligaments so we don't have to figure out just how bad the disability has become. Though this is a good step.

This is supposed to fix your 'limp wrist'?

@valkilmerisawful: Ick, you think so? I hate how comments are hidden, and how the star commenters reign supreme now. It makes my inferiority complex worse... and I like a little variety in my comments, ya know?
Edit: I love the star commenters, but I find it hard to maintain a monogamous relationship with em. There are just way to many fish in the sea / geeks on the internet.

@Duckspwn_Insignificant Commenter: Now that you mention it, I kind of have to agree. I guess the only thing I liked was the "edit" feature.

@tok3ninja; is still in Beta: Tell me you're joking. Are the star commenters the jocks of your nerd party? If you aim to please, maybe you should be more concerned with how disappointed your father would feel, that you worship some, albeit well-written and clever, strangers on a techie web site.

HOWEVER, if you were joking, I would revise my response accordingly to: "I really doubt you are joking."

@Brian Lam: For shame, Brian Lam. I brought nothing to the table today. I suppose it was an over-reaction caused by an intermittent left-side Ctrl and Shift key malfunction that I've been dealing with.

First they need to figure out a way to sell affordable diamond substitutes out of graphene on QVC if they really want this technology to take off.
