Subj: Re: [kl] Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (and the doubling question)
Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 07:47:56 -0400

Hi,

What exactly is carpel tunnel syndrome ? I have recently been suffering with
very sharp pains down my arm and into my wrist and hand. The pain is awful
and I find it is most frequent when I am working. ( I am doing a summer job
while off university ,in a shop, mostly scanning items at the checkout)
I have also started to feel this pain when I play clarinet and saxophone and
sometimes piano and am worried that I have developed carpel tunnel syndrome
or something similar.

I hope someone can help me find out what this may be. My doctors are
hopeless and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Thanks

Gillian
