Can you get arthritis from typing too much?
Typing can cause repetitive stress syndrome leading to carpal tunnel problems or tennis elbow. Usually this happens if you sit at the wrong height, or type with fingers in isolation. That is the reason people should learn touch typing if they use the computer for any great length of time. Basically if you are feeling pain after typing, you should examine what you are doing wrong. If you ignore the pain for too long, you may end up needing carpal tunnel surgery.

Can you get carpal tunnel from playing video games?
It is possible to get carpal tunnel syndrome from playing video games, but there is a small risk of getting carpal tunnel from anything that you partake in for an extended amount of time. Video game console controllers are usually built to form to the relaxed position of the hand, while putting your hand in a position which is found comfortable. Many studies have been done just to form the controllers used today. Since the movements of the hand during gameplay are repetitive, it does slightly increase the odds of you getting carpal tunnel, but not enough to worry about.
What is the difference between carpal tunnel and arthritis?
Carpal tunnel is the name of the anatomy of your wrist. If you are talking about the actual syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, it is caused by compression of the median nerve that runs through the "carpal tunnel" in your wrist. Arthritis is a general term that has to do with inflammation of a joint. This is where the joint surface becomes rough and therefore can cause pain as the 2 joint surfaces can no longer glide over each other.If someone has arthritis of the wrist bones, this may put them at risk for getting carpal tunnel syndrome because the nerve may have less space in the 'tunnel' and get crowded causing the compression of the median nerve. It is particularly prevalent in the case of rheumatoid arthritis as this is an inflammatory disease and the inflammation put extra pressure on the nerves passing through the carpel tunnel.
Can arthritis cause carpal tunnel?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a repetitive stress injury (which is to say, stress builds up when you do the same kind of motion over and over) and it has nothing to do with arthritis which is a degenerative illness (the body is wearing out with age).
Can carpal tunnel syndrome lead to osteoarthritis?

As a dental professional what would cause me to get 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.
What conditions can be relieved by massage therapy?
Allergies, anxiety and stress, arthritis, asthma and bronchitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive motion injuries?
Is carpal tunnel syndrome the same as arthritis?
Not exactly. The term "carpal" refers to the bones of the wrist; the condition "carpal tunnel syndrome" is caused by compression of a nerve passing through this area.Arthritis, of which there are a number of types, refers to inflammation of a joint (arthri is a Latin prefix meaning "joint").So while both conditions involve joint problems, the one is caused by irritation of a nerve in the wrist only, while the other involves inflammation, and often deformation and immobilization, of joint tissues and can occur in any joint.
