Angie, how's your wrist?

My hairdresser squeezed me in today before she goes in for carpal tunnel surgery, and it reminded me that I've been meaning to ask about your hand/wrist issues. Hope all is well!

I've been wondering about that too. Hope all is well, Angie.

I have been wondering this too - especially since Angie said she was only going to respond to 3 or 4 forum posts a day and I think it has been more than that recently!

Thanks for the concern Una, Debs and Anne.

I do not have carpel tunnel. I have RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). My hands, wrists and arms are doing much better. They are about 80% better, which is incredibly good. (There were times when I was in so much pain). They will never be 100% because I type and haul around clothing too often.

I am diciplined about doing my special exercises and I have taken my healing process seriously. No pain killers and I am on the mend

I wish your hair dresser all the best with the surgery.

That is so good to hear! These sorts of repetitive injuries can be sticklers to heal properly, so it's wonderful that you are being a dutiful exerciser :)!

I'm also glad to hear that you are doing better, angie. Carpal tunnel is a hazard for hair dressers that I'd never thought of. Getting my hair cut last week I heard about all the stylists that were out because of carpal tunnel.

I'm glad to hear you are healing up! I know that these repetative stress injuries take a long time to heal...and dedication to the process. I keep injuring myself over and over because i start healing and then let up on the exercises and ice and next thing I know, I'm in pain again. So bascially, whatever I do, just do the opposite and you will be good as new!

Glad to hear that you are feeling better and keep doing exercise and try not to overdue it.
Please take a brake from typing whenever you can.
