I'm just wondering something. I'm fifteen years of age and I have bad carpel tunnel (its completly my fault from using the computer too much!) so I was wondering if it would heal itself if say I never used the computer again for 2-3 years lol

It depends on how bad it is.
I had MILD ct in my right arm. 2 or 3 yrs later it was gone.
If it's bad--you could cause permanent nerve damage by waiting. You're far too young to do that to yourself. If you've gone to get it checked out, you should follow the doc's advice if they say to have surgery.
It's actually a pretty simple procedure, and recovery was less painful than the pain before surgery....

Well it only starts to hurt in my right wrist if I use it too much on the pc(hours or more) and if I use my left hand to bend my right one it makes a crunch noise lol sorta.
but other than that it doesnt hurt, its a little harder to lift up heavy things but I try not to do that (dont want to hurt my back)(

I'm pretty sure that carpal tunnel does not make crunching noises.
You might want to have your parents take you to get it checked out....I guess it could be--but to be sure it's not something else...and that it isn't something that needs to be fixed now.
