So he sent a recommendation/request to a specialist to get me an appointment . Sounds like they will stick small needles in hand/wrist/arm and measure electric current . At least that was my understanding . Sounds like years of computer usage along with wrenching/DIY projects has caught up to me .

I'm on a computer for work, and then often on again at home. I noticed a long time ago while playing first person shooters and just generally being on a computer than my mouse-wrist would get sore sometimes. That's when I switched to increasingly ergonomic keyboards (and the Dvorak layout) and trackballs (now an Apple Trackpad) in an effort to keep from ending up with CT. So far so good.

Fortunately, I think they can pretty effectively take care of it these days.
