    Carpal tunnel
    Does carpal tunnel ever get well without surgery? Is there any special treatment or therapy?

    Yes, carpal tunnel does get well on it's own from inactivity of the wrists and/or hands. I had it in both wrists and my doctor told me to stop working for about 1-2 years and I would improve. That's what I did. Kind of hard though, but it was worth it in the end. Now my wrists don't bother me like they used to unless I overdo it typing. Typing 8 hours a day at 75+ WPM did my wrists in.

    I had carpal tunnel when I was doing a lot of computer data entry on my job... I didn't have any treatment; I think it cleared up after I retired, not before. :)
