The condition: Though carpal tunnel syndrome's shining moment in the media spotlight may have come and gone, the ailment is still very much real for many a hobbled keyboard jockey. According to AOL Health, carpal tunnel occurs when the median nerve in your forearm becomes pinched due to swelling. The effect is numbness, tingling and pain in the palm side of your thumb, index and middle fingers.
How to prevent or cure it: You can avoid carpal tunnel by taking frequent typing breaks and using a splint to keep your wrists straight. For more, check out 26 Home Remedies for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from Howstuffworks.

Had you tried a home remedy? Its works. 7 mashed garlic and 7 lemons juice. Pour both together and leave in the fridge over nite. Use a glass bottle container. In the moring before breakfast. Just drink a small med's cup. Use the one we give our children measured. After,ten days you all will see the different.
Good Luck!!!!

Laptop keyboards are so cramped that I think they will cause CT sooner. I started typing (on regular sized keyboards) around 8 years old and never stopped. After getting a job with lots of repetitive movements, carpel tunnel reared its head. Eventually I needed operations on both wrists - but now I'm great. I don't understand how people type so long on laptops - it's just so bad for your hands!

I have been using computers sence I was 5 and i have no problems but i have to agree with latop keybords are too small but thats why i own a laptop that has a full sized keyboard because my laptop has a 19" screen so it fits on it fine.
