I'm a full-time court reporter student, part-time legal secretary/billing clerk, and freelance transcriptionist... and I think I've developed carpal tunnel syndrome!!! :(<br />
<br />
I wanted to ask if our CSR's have carpal tunnel? If so, can/do you still work through it?<br />
<br />
Worst case scenario is that I can no longer pursue my dream of becoming a Certified Shorthand Reporter... which would seriously be AWFUL!!! I've worked SO HARD to get to where I am now (160 WPM and counting). I don't want to forsake my…

I wanted to ask if our CSR's have carpal tunnel? If so, can/do you still work through it?<br />
<br />
Worst case scenario is that I can no longer pursue my dream of becoming a Certified Shorthand Reporter... which would seriously be AWFUL!!! I've worked SO HARD to get to where I am now (160 WPM and counting). I don't want to forsake my dream of being a CSR until I absolutely, absolutely have to! But I don't think it'll be that severe... right?!<br />
<br />
I did some online researching, and the articles I've read say that carpal tunnel is very common and is treatable. For instance, I already tried the ice pack method and just generally rested my hand as much as I could. It helped tremendously! The tingling/numbness subsided after a few days, and today I don't feel it (the tingling/numbness started on Thursday night, and today is Monday morning).<br />
<br />
So... again my questions are:<br />
- Do you have carpal tunnel? If so, how does it affect your work?<br />
- What do you do to help curb this disorder as you work?<br />
- Do you honestly think I should be worried about pursuing my career in stenography now that I've developed this? <b>***I REALLY NEED REASSURANCE ON THIS ONE PLEASE***<br />
</b><br />
Any help you can give is so appreciated! Thank you all in advance!<br />
<br />
