I expect that wrist got more exercise when you were younger it's seizing up now.

Try changing your pose for a while .............. doing the "fonz" pose is bound to hurt after a while.

its carpel tunnel mate dont ever go to a manipulation bloke made mine worse use homeapathy tissue salts from boots holland barret aching hands and legs  its called try in future to cup your hands at the bottom of the pole and wear a wrist support does help its water fed poling that does this and look at yoga its good for shoulders and joints

thanks very much aj nice to get an answer.

went to doctors today and he confirmed i poo myself because all i can think of is where they do op on your wrists.

doc gave me perscription for strong anti inflamatories 3 a day.

I go kick boxing class once a week and mrs is convinced this is what caused it and wants me to give up

see anti vibraion gloves on englebert-strauss  fingerless gloves that have paded gel palms and says relives pressure on medial nerve; £20 thought about these

thanks lee

lee, if your cleaning trad, use the wagtail blue ribbon, so much easier on your wrists and hands, am glad i went to the cleaning show in coventry, or i would still be using my unger stiffy lol

I have C T in both arms, have had it for about 3 years, had all the tests and had the op booked but decided not to have it done and to be honest it only bothers me now if i do a lot of driving i have a splint which i got from the hospital that i wear for driving and thats it,i do have pins and needles and if i stop and think about it i can feel it a lot of the time but it doesnt stop me doing anything,i cant play the violin but i couldnt before i got CP 
 maybe im lucky but id think long and hard before going for the op as it doesnt always work and youll be off the tools for a while aferwards.

ibupforen gell and or tablets and heat would help
