Blackberry Thumb, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Other Modern Inconvieniences

There is nothing new about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Anyone working on an assembly line or typing 8 hours a day can tell you that.

What's different is that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome used to be connected almost solely with one's work. A typist, an assembler, a seamstress.

What a pain in the neck!

We all get them, a "crick" in the neck, soreness across the shoulders. After all, we're carrying around a huge ball on a little stem. Small wonder it's easy to develop a pain in the neck. So, what can we do to prevent or heal from injury?

Those awful leg cramps

The last couple nights, I have had the worst and I mean worst leg spasms or "charlie horses" that woke me out of a dead sleep.

A few things have changed in the last week in my life, including becoming more active on my legs. I figured that since I have become more active, maybe I was burning more calories or 'something' that caused me to have these horrible late night pains.

So I did some soul searching on the Internet and wanted to share some fabulous information that I found about how to combat that night time terror.
