arnica gel is a good idea. also, if you want, there are some yoga poses you can do that are beneficial for carpal tunnel syndrome. i'll shoot you an email describing how to do them, if i can put it into words...

I don't click on any link that has the word 'wang' in it, sorry...

I like that robo, the combo of violence and recuperation appeals...
- Jaline0
robo, did someone suggest that to you? It's weird, because sometimes people have to try 5 different things before they figure out what works. Some people give up before then.

do you reckon the refrigerator thing I should have kept to myself? I have no social graces, shame, humility or tact, I need to be led by the (right) hand in these matters

a couple of years ago I hurt my shoulder seriously. the pain was so bad I couldn't even pick up a book or use my mouse for very long. even after months of physical therapy nothing seemed to work, it was only after I started doing chinese martial arts that it finally healed. within 6 months my arm completely healed and is better than before. try looking into tae chi or wing chun it may help.

:D

I'll look into the Arnica gel thing, cheers...
btw, I will go to the doctor, just wanted to chat due to excessive loneliness aggravated by sore shoulder

snip = small surgery in which they sort of untangle your tendons. My mum has had it twice. Both arms. You're in and out in a day.
It's either that or neutering. Can't remember.

(Jun 13 07, 06:02)haha, honestly the arnica gel is awesome for swelling reduction which is the main cause of pressure on the nerve.

-------------sounds like this,
could be that,
i think ive got this cos ive seen it on tv or read about it on the internet.soon docs wont exist, your friend will easily be able to tell you whats wrong with you.
kelpie, just get yourself to your docs and ask him/her or get along to a massage place that know their sh*t and theyl be able to advise you on what is wrong and how to avoid it.
when im stressed with workload and i have to work on comp i get a sore arm and shoulder. years ago id went to someone and they cracked my shoulder good and proper and it takes the pain away for a few hours while stressed. so i learned how to 'pop' it myself - no point in paying £35 a session to get it done by someone else when you can do it for free lol.

massages are super cool :D, I love em, I guess I have maybe six a year or so not that many I suppose, but it's great isn't it kelpie, I personally feel lovely and relaxed and lots of wee niggly problems dissappear for the day worth the money I reckon and a nice way to unwind better than getting reeking and spending all your money then waking up in the morningn and crting in the shower not that I do this ...... much :'(

I had the same thing last year. Got rid of it pretty much. Address how you are sitting, and holding your arm when working. You want to get your arm and wrist as perpendicular to your body as possible. And then periodically, like on the hour, give your arm a bit of a massge (and other bits of you like), and move it around, getting the blood going.
Also, if it's really bad, see if you can get a dr. to prescribe some muscle relaxants. I took em for a week, and it really helped.If those things don't help, you might need to get snipped. I here it's pretty simple.
