Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You can prevent carpal tunnel syndrome by reducing repetitive activities that involve your hand, such as typing on the computer. Gently stretch and massage your fingers, hands and wrists several times a day to bring the blood back to the area. Keep your hands warm with fingerless gloves to prevent soreness and stiffness, which occurs when sitting in a cold room or office.

If carpal tunnel syndrome does occur, wear a wrist splint and take a pain reliever, such as Advil or Aleve. Wrist splints and pain medications are available over-the-counter at your local drugstore.

Adjust your workspace by purchasing an ergonomic keyboard and office chair. Material pads made of gel or beans can be placed under the wrists, on the desk, to support and protect your arms, wrists and hands from carpel tunnel syndrome.
