Hi Terri! That is what I was thinking. Between my laptop, and especially my cell phone; I feel like it could be the like what corporal tunnel does to wrists. I have been trying to dial back my electronic use.

My daughter GUI has only one arm. She is 32 years old and is a social worker and soccer coach. She had carpal tunnel surgery last fall at age 31. She is constantly on her phone, computer ( especially now with online teaching), or driving (with her hand tightly gripped on the steering wheel) for school or soccer. I was flabbergasted that at such a young age she would need carpal tunnel surgery. With all the gamers out there as well, I suspect carpal tunnel surgery will soon be as common as filling a cavity! irene5
