<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Jim,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've worked with computers my whole
life (back before there was an Internet even!)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I had CTS in the 90s while working at
a job with a less than ideal setup. I immediately changed ALL of
my computer desks and how they were set up (at work and home.)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I used a wrist brace whenever I was
on the computer. After a few months, it stopped bothering me. I
haven't had an issue with it since then.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Granted, I may have caught it early
enough, but I really think it was the fact that I changed up all of my
stations and used the brace that allowed my wrist to heal. Note
I wore the brace whenever I was on the computer, slept, watched TV at first.
Then I slowly tapered it off to just during computer use. Then
it was just when my wrist bothered me. I still have the brace, but
I haven't touched it in almost 15 years. YMMV</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>While I was editing my last post with numb hands I
thought maybe some folks here had run into this issue and thought about,
or gotten, the surgery. I've had it for 20 years and it only acts up when
I do a bunch of remodeling, which I'm going to be doing for the next few
years. A friend got the surgery years ago and highly recommends it. I'm
very leery of being cut open, at least as much because of infection as
for the potential to make things worse.<br>
