Carpal tunnel syndrome and social security disability

I hope these links are helpful. I have some experience with carpal tunnel syndrome, both as an observer and as someone who has been semi-afflicted with the condition. I say semi-afflicted because I believe that I was starting to see the initial symptons of cts, or carpal tunnel syndrome in both my hands. I had problems with individual knuckle joints and not always the same joint on any given day. I also started having weird sensations of hot and/or cold in either hand, wrist, or forearm. Carpal tunnel syndrome is, by definition, a degenerative condition. Cts is a repetitive stress injury. So, from all the disability cases I've enountered that involve carpal tunnel injuries, as soon as I saw cts symptoms, I IMMEDIATELY backed off from the amount of keyboard work I was doing. Not only that, but I did what the alternative medicine article list above suggests: I started using vitamin b6 supplements for my carpal tunnel symptoms. I also, as a precautionary move, started wearing wrist splints. Was all of this successful? I would say so. Most of my carpal tunnel syndrome symptomology seems to have dissipated. Whether it was due to the splints, the b6, or mainly just resting my arms and hands more, I can't really say. Unfortunately, most individuals who develop cts get the condition as a result of their work environment. And for those individuals, simply stopping certain repetitive motions to alleviate oncoming carpal tunnel problems may not be an option. Which is exactly why we see so many social security disability and ssi disability applications that list carpal tunnel syndrome as a major alleged impairment.
