Update: I haven't been posting, but I still read the forum.
I have good days and bad days with my wrist. After all this time, it's pretty clear that it's not going to get better through resting it, so I'm going to wade back into the lagoon a bit. I'm sure I'll type shorter replies than I did in the past, though. Long typing sessions wear me out.
Thank you everyone for your advice. However, my condition isn't actually Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. You know how when you live in a little town 15 miles away from a big city, and someone asks where you're from, you give the name of the big city because there's no way they'd know where "Flatrock" is? That's what I'm doing when I say I have CTS. Truthfully, I've got an instability in my wrist that is caused by a tendon that is either extremely lax in its duties, or non-existent. This is combined with a problem in my shoulder that makes everything on that side work poorly. I've been to various doctors, specialists, and physical therapists, and do the right exercises daily. They help a little, but aren't going to cure me. I also do rock climbing, but that's doing more for my figure than my wrist (not that I'm complaining). I'm coming to grips with what this means for me. There's a guy at work who only has one arm. Things could be MUCH worse. So I'm hanging in there.
