Hello i am an 19 year old male who has just recently been told i have carpal tunnel, two weeks ago i started getting unbearable in my wrists and went to my GP and was told that i have carpal tunnel and i have looked alot into it and i m very scared, i am only young and don t want to have wrist pain for the rest of my life. Currently the pain isn t that bad i m not having trouble sleeping or anything and have been using wrist splits while sleeping and resting and also been using panadol extra as pain killers for when it is bad. I know that i caused it from using to much computer and not being very ergonomic but i am trying to not use the computer too much now. Is there anyway that i will ever be able to restore my wrists back to normal without having to get surgery? From this test i did at http://www.carpal-tunnel.net/diagnosing/questionnaire apparently the severity in my left wrist is 1.8 and in my right its 2.0 out of 6. I would really like some help if at all possible. thank you
