I saw a post about someone having carpal tunnel syndrome.  When I was younger, I thought I had carpal tunnel, but I found out was that I really had a repetitive motion injury.

I wanted to share this knowledge because I don't think it's commonly known.  It's not really in my nature to give out unsolicited advice, unless I TRULY feel something might help.  Hopefully this will help someone!

Please try this advice out.  I read about 5 books on this subject.  This is free advice and it's quick to try.  I hate to give advice, cause people love to not take it, even if it costs a measly 10 minutes.  I blame chain mail letters for this!

There are 2 major nerves in the arm that end at the arm pit.  Massage along your arms and especially at the arm pit area.  If you feel a sharp pain, then you've found a "trigger point."  You need to gently massage the trigger point away.

4 of the books covered that knowledge above, what the fifth book told me was that the end points at the arm pits are another source of carpal tunnel symptoms.  Probe firmly in your arm pit area(the whole area and at different angles), if you feel a ball of pain, then you've probably found the cause of your symptoms.

(Ball of pain for someone with carpal tunnel symptoms would probably feel more like a knife stab, I know I nearly blacked out when I treated my trigger point)

Once you've found the "trigger point" you need to massage it using a circular motion.  Massage it at the highest pain level you can manage.  The pain will dissapate in a few days if you are massaging hard enough.

Even though the knowledge I'm sharing with you is about 9 years old, I haven't found any source on the internet that tells you about this.

Even if you don't have carpal tunnel, you should try this.  You would be simply preventing the false carpal from ever happening.
