woah mama.....
i got dem carpal tunnel blues
lordy mama....
i can't even tie my own damn shoes

wrist brace got me down
more of dem carpal tunnel blues
even typing this here blog...
more dexterity i'm gonna loose

i don't want no surgery
i got them ol' carpal tunnel blues
damn this median nerve, mama!
repetitive motion lowdown blues

well i wouldn't mind going to the doctor
but my insurance copay, she's so high
and i don't like gettin' shots
guess i won't kiss these blues goodbye

carpal tunnel blues!!!!!!
(there is where groundcat plays some awesome guitar solo and we fade out...)



(btw- i bet i'm the first person to use the word dexterity in a blues song!)

the more you wear that brace the worse it is when you take it off...So I say...

Actually, I agree with glittermom.

Wear the damn thing only at night. Hot compress in the evenings. If you wear it at work, you strain against it and end up increasing pain. Don't wear it too tight.

Also, have the frickin' job buy you an ergo keyboard. That alone will make a HUGE diff.

dearest nomy,

i haven't worn the brace thing much. not at work, because i noticed what you said, that it increases the pain because i'm straining against the damn thing. i try to just sleep with it, but that's hard too.

i am going to just bitch about it and not do anything else.

:)
