A member asked:
What to do if i do type a lot for work but i have no pain, could it be carpal tunnel syndrome or anyone have any other ideas?

Seems OK: From your question it sounds like you are OK. CTS always involves some sort of pain, numbness or tingling. If you want to prevent that then you can look into ergonomically correct workspace designs, mouse, keyboard.

I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (through history and bending wrists). My main symptom is when typing at my computer for 40+ minutes , my palms turn red and my hands feel very hot, burning even (rather than tingling). Is this really CTS?

My surgeon kept upping my dose of gabapentin when I would mention my hand and the last visit he said it was probably carpal tunnel. I've looked up the symptoms and it's not carpal tunnel. Can you give me an idea as to what may be the problem? Thank y
