  Interesting ... so ... I got carpal because I'm a fat lazy slob? 8O
  
  Or maybe it's because computer use promotes inactivity which caused me to become obese and that's how I got carpal! HA! That puts the computers back in the line of blame!
  
  Then again, maybe not? :wink:

  These studies seem to only look at the classic carpal tunnel diagnosis - nerve damage. Many people get a Repetitive Motion Injury to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and/or fascia. These people have no damage to nerves.
  
  I have had chronic tendonitis in both forearms for more than a decade. My nerve and motor responses are normal, but I have pain. My first causative agent is lots of use of crutches between the ages of 8 and 25. There are soem poor ergonomic habits that you can get into when using crutches, to move faster, and carry things in your hands (and I've done all of them). Poor ergonomic habits with computer use are my second causative agent.
  
  If I had gone into a profession that did not involve sitting at a computer, but did involve using the large muscles in the shoulders, arms, and back, I might have never had this tendonitis. But I have trouble imagining becoming a nurse and lifting patients while using crutches.
