Want this question answered?
no it dosent as long as you keep your hands in the right postion it should not affect you i know this because i play the piano and it does not affect me
"After spending long hours on the computer for work, I have developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome"
The benefits of carpal tunnel exercises are good if you sit for long period of time typing at the computer. They will help prevent carpal tunnel disease. You can find information about carpal tunnel exercises in books location at Amazon.
The length can vary depending on the state you are in and the work comp laws of that state. It also has to be proved that work caused your case of carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a hotly debated topic because there are many causes other than work causes. Some carpal tunnel cases can be drawn out over several years, it just depends on the facts of the case.
Any part of the body that movement causes pain will decrease muscle use. When musches are not used, they atrophy. If a brace is used this will cause the muscles to atrophy if used for a long period of time. ************************************************* If the median nerve is compressed for a very long time, the nerve impulses will be decreased to certain hand muscles and this can eventually cause atrophy or a shrinkage of the muscle and therefore loss of strength, etc... In chronic (long-standing) carpal tunnel syndrome, the muscle atrophy that results is almost always permanent and cannot fully recover, even after carpal tunnel release surgery. Permanent muscle weakness (atrophy) of the thenar muscles (primarily the abductor pollicis brevis) is a complication that hand surgeons are trying to prevent when they recommend surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. A brace can be used effectively in early or mild cases of carpal tunnel syndrome. The brace prevents high pressures in the carpal tunnel by limiting motion in the wrist. This is not a long-term solution but may provide some temporary relief and cure a small percentage of patients.
In order to give you a good answer to your question, I need more information. How long have you had your Blue Cross Blue Shield plan? Did the carpal tunnel condition exist prior to the date of your coverage? Is your Blue Cross Blue Shield policy a group or individual plan? What state do you live in? Is your carpal tunnel condition a work-related disorder? If so, workers comp rather than your health insurance policy may pay for the operation.
What is the average payout for carpal tunnel surgery in both hands from work comp in the state of Kansas after three years of not receiving any work comp pay during the time I was off. 1st off. Why were you off for so long? That alone is crazy. Most people are back to work in 7 to 10 days at a light duty then full duty in 4 weeks time.. 3 years? not good...
Neither. The Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a result of repetitive movements done over a long period of time. You may be genetically prone to it or obesity may make it worse, but neither is a cause.
carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The most obvious would be using fine repetetive gripping, pinching motions while holding dental tools. This can increase pressure across the carpal tunnel as can awkward postures of the wrist. If the median nerve that runs through the carpal tunnel canal gets pinched or compressed for long periods of time this may cause CTS. Other causes or risk factors of carpal tunnel syndrome can be pregnancy and hypothyroidism(increased fluid retention), wrist fractures, arthritis and obesity.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by repetitive actions, such as typing, or playing a musical instrument. Drinking will not cause Carpel Tunnel as long as you switch hands every 2.7 minutes.. :) Sorry. Couldn't resist a little levity. I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome many years ago. The Orthopedic Surgeon said that in my case it was most likely caused by the repetitive motions required when playing musical instruments. I had heard that gout could be aggravated by alcohol intake and so I asked him if that was true about CTS. His answer was, "There is no evidence of that that I am aware of." Still, I switch hands every 2.7 minutes, just to be on the safe side. BTW, the surgery was almost painless.
