Where is Mr. gqtuazon? Long time no see him. Hopefully everything is O.K.

Hi guys. Thank you for your concerns. I really appreciate it. like what Don have mentioned, my carpal tunnel on my dominant hand has prevented me from using a computer including my camera equipment.

I'm getting some physical therapy for now to see if that can help before they recommend surgery. I have a herniated disc on my spine which is affecting my nerves.

I miss being active in the forum and with my equipment. I am still pressing my hope that someday I can still use my cameras. I hate to let go of my equipment. I hope it wont go to that extent. :)

Sorry to hear that. For the carpel tunnel, I had physio, and had my arm strapped with the bright tape the sportspeople wear... did that for a couple of months. The things that helped me the most was to use a bamboo tablet/pen instead of a mouse (I'm a CAD modeller, so I sit scrolling a mouse wheel for 8 hours a day, then again use a computer in the evenings!) Once that was stabilised, I started using weights at the gym, this too seems to help.

Your spine... yikes! sounds very painful.

Wishing you speedy and full recovery.

Hope things will work out and allow you to resume your normal activities. Sometimes chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate a herniated disc (hope the disc problem is being helped somehow). And hope your physical therapist is a hand therapist. They usually go to school for a longer period of time than a physical therapist. Sorry to hear about this, Glenn.
