Crickety wrist. advice??

I'm a college student and have a job that requires me to sit at a computer 4-6 hours a day and click a mouse. That's on top of the mouse-clicking I need to do for school work and personal reasons. Lately my right hand (the one using the mouse) has started to feel weird. If I twist my wrist, it gives little clicky sounds and hurts a little. All the bones in that hand feels stiff and if I relax it, my index and middle finger separate by themselves (same as they do placed on a mouse button and scroll wheel). This is starting to worry me because the stiffness is getting slowly worse and now my wrist clicks almost all the time when I move it in circles. I know almost nothing about carpel tunnel syndrome of if this is any indication of it. Could anyone offer advice as to simple treatments/exercises or what this might be a sign of? I really appreciate it.

Re: Crickety wrist. advice??

im sorry to give you those three dreaded words but, you may have carple tunnel syndrome

stiffness is a very common symptom, i looked into it when my hand started feeling weird (im an artist by profession and hobby, and i often use a mouse and tablet to colour my art)

clicking isnt relaly a sign form what ive read, but i have clicking in my right knee, which i aquired via soccer, its eitehr a torn ligament or a ripped tendon (i forget which) tehres no cure, but its nothing serious, just annoying, and its very possibleyour wrist has the same problem.

here are my symptoms, which i later read were all of the symptoms of carple tunnel:

do your symtoms match any/most of these?:
numbed
heavy-feeling
gets cold alot/easilly
dropping things often/easilly
harder to move/stiff
strained-ish pains in the back of the wrist
pains in the middle/index/ring knuckel/finger
shooting pains down the thumb


i read that if you bend your wrist at a 90 degree angle in relation to your arm, an dit feels better, thats a definite sign, you should try that, it didnt work for me, so its not a sure way to tell, though

if you do have symptoms, see your docter, if you ahve it, youll be directedto wear a spint/brace for a certian amount of time, immoblisieng it to relive teh constant tention/pressure you put it through, and if taht doesnt work, youll likley be given surgery, a small opening in yoru wirst for tention release, which may take some time to recover form, so its much better to cetch it early an avoid surgery, dont procrastinate~

also, theres something called "wristreleve" the lable and booklet inside are very midleading,
it implies that is will cure, or atleast keep carple tunnel from worstening, i called the company for confermation on that, and excuse my langauge but thats a load of crap, and im suprised they havent been sured for false advertsieing. i dont suggest buying it unless all you want is temp. pain relief.
