Yep.
Think about this.... Piano players don't get Carpal Tunnel syndrome.
It has NOTHING to do with repetitive motions of the fingers. It is mostly caused by fluid retention causing a compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Eliminate the fluid and you eliminate the problem.
From the National Instutue of Neurological Disorders and Stroke:
There is little clinical data to prove whether repetitive and forceful movements of the hand and wrist during work or leisure activities can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Repeated motions performed in the course of normal work or other daily activities can result in repetitive motion disorders such as bursitis and tendonitis. Writer's cramp - a condition in which a lack of fine motor skill coordination and ache and pressure in the fingers, wrist, or forearm is brought on by repetitive activity - is not a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome.
I think I made it pretty clear in my last post that I agree with you, even if I don’t have the background knowledge you do.
