IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET CARPAL TUNNEL FROM TYPING 10,000 KEYSTROKES AN HOUR FFOR ONLY 5 MTHS? ALSO HAVE BEEN OFF WORK FOR ABOUT 2 MTHS NOW AND PAIN HAS SEEM TO OF GOTTEN WORSE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD GO AWAY BEING I NO LONGER AM TYPING. CAN THIS HAPPEN? FIRST OF ALL HAPPENING WAS THAT MY FINGERS WOULD GO NUMB AND SEEM TO BE ASLEEP. I THEN WOULD HAVE TO SQUEEZE MY FINGERS AND SCRUNCH THEM. THEN PAIN A LITTLE IN MY WRIST, NOW THE LAST 2 WEEKS OR SO, MORE PAIN IN MY WRIST AND FOREARM. FEELS VERY TIGHT IN FOREARM. WONDERING IF IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE PAIN WILL NOT OF GONE AWAY SINCE NO LONGER TYPING. THANK YOU
