I don’t know about you geniuses out there but when I first heard about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, I was like Carpal who? Which tunnel where?? I admit, I had no clue what it was! So since I have the Internet within my grasp, I hate not knowing and being ignorant. Some people are comfortable with not knowing but I’m not. So what I did was go to my trusty Wikipedia and searched for it! And wudya knowww… it’s actually a medical condition that affects the nerve that runs down the arm and the forearm.

And what happens is that when that particular nerve (the median nerve) is compressed at the wrist, it leads to pain and muscle weakness in the forearm. And guess what? This occurrence happens to more women than men! Most common cases of CTS occurs when activities are done in a repetitive manner such as typing, mousing, writing, and any other activities that involves the wrists. But before you go on freaking out and telling yourself you can’t do your daily blogging anymore (that’s what I just told myself), you can always get carpal tunnel relief by wearing orthopedic products. And one such product is the IMAK SmartGlove that’s able to protect your wrists and your thumb while you’re at it!

Pretty cool huh? I always tell myself prevention is better than cure. That’s why I stopped smoking. And don’t worry about it cramping your style. Just tell your colleagues you’re going for the Michael Jackson look! Hehe..
