Carpal tunnel and surgery for it is common in my profession. At least one of my coworkers, who has been doing it for 30 years, had to have surgery on BOTH of her wrists for carpal tunnel.

Oh geez, I know a few people who have had the surgery, but im not sure I want it just yet. Though I may have to as the last two days of work have been killer on it. It sucks that it is my dominate hand as well.
