Carpal. Tunnel. Syndrome.
Not a condition I want to have. Caused by too much mouse and keyboard use at the computer, which I use daily for my job. My right (mouse hand) wrist is currently smarting when moved - it definitely feels "tight" in an area of about 3 inches on my inner wrist. And on my left wrist, it's a 1-inch area on the side of my wrist, right under my thumb.
I tried some exercises from the video below this morning and it did feel better. The video has some exercises that are different from others I've seen before. Here's a link to the original article I found, and another simpler article on exercises for the condition.
I believe the video recommends doing the exercises once every hour. I think I will need to set an alarm for that, and I'll be lucky if I stick to it. But I do need to address this issue as it is getting worse.
