Carpal tunnel syndrome

[Gina]

I have been having sleeplness nights for about three nights now. I wake up with severe pain in my thumb and then I go numb in my fingers. After I wake up I start excersing my fingers to make it feel better. I fall asleep and about every two to three hrs. this awakes me.

I went to a IMO office this morning and just want I suspected I have Carpal tunnel syndrome. The dr. ordered me two wrists splints to sleep in for two weeks , then to follow up with my doctor. Just what I need.. lol I am trying not to type or use the computer for hrs. on end. So I may be not posting much but will be reading... Has anyone suffered from this?, it seems to be common and so painful ?

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers...

I appreciate it..
