CTS = Annoying

SC`s Stars II · August 2012

CTS is carpal tunnel syndrome. I was recently diagnosed with a medium to severe case in my right arm and a mild case in my left. I was told it's due to my horseback riding, 9 years of softball pitching, and 2 years of conducting for marching band. The constant repetitive movements have really screwed my hands and wrists up. It's not a big deal to me just a terrible nuisance! I HATE the feeling of numbness and tingling as it is and knowing I have constant triggers drives me insane! I don't have to stop riding or conducting (stopped softball after breaking my ankle) so that's a relief. BUT I have to wear this splint that elevates my hands in the most awkward and uncomfortable position >.< It's just annoying! Anyone else have CTS?

You don't really have a need to worry

CTS isn't very common in kids or young adults. I just grew up with a lot of stress on my hands and wrists that caused it. I also have a medium to severe case so my symptoms are more prevalent

You typically can't develop it from just playing softball, it's a combination of things over time xD

Hmmm, sounds painful

But yeah I'm a lefty and I hear many left handers have CTS. I'm very surprised to hear that you are right-handed and have CTS. Hope it gets less annoying? Well, y'know what I mean.

Howdy, Stranger!
