Kathie , have you ever been diagonised with carpal tunnel in your wrists ,

in 1999 i was having the same problems ,special doctor said carpal tunnel

can go all the way up my shoulder,so i had the release surgery , for carpal

tunel ,YES! it came back in 2005, but by that time i had no insurance ,so i

went to the clinic at UMBC in Baltimore and the doctor told me to get tennis

elbow straps with Velcro and put them on between my elbow and wrists when i

am do ing anything ,during the day that tends to to heavy , ( do you know

even a 1/2 gallon of milk weighs 8 lbs?) works pretty good and At Wal-Mart

they are in the golf part of sporting goods ,so i got a pair and use them

,you should even use them when typing , it just takes the pressure off and

you don`t have as many pins and needles at night when your arms rest
