BW,
Take it from someone who has been through it all!
Carpal Tunnel, pinched radial nerve, re-occuring tennis elbow!
All due to repetitive motion! FISHING!!! It all started about 12 yrs ago when I was FW bass fishing and throwing unweighted sluggo's on a baitcasting rod.
Carpal tunnel surgery about 6yrs ago.
In the past 2 1/2 months I have had surgery #1 to relieve the pinched radial nerve and surgery #2 to clean up the area of my elbow in which the tendons run along the bone to your muscles.
My suggestion is wear the carpal tunnel brace faithfully! Especially when sleeping! Might not be a bad idea to get a tennis elbow aircast also! Sure does limit the amount of pressure put on the elbow.
And most important! Try not to use that wrist to lift too much! Its all about repetition! Which we all do every day of our lives and just dont realize it!
With rest and alot of luck hopefully you wont require the surgery!
PM me if you need a good Dr! Mine is a hand and arm specialist and is well known all over the world.
Good Luck!
Russ
