So, it's way off topic, but if you're having a problem with Carpal Tunnel, I 
actually treated mine and it's not hard to do.  I'm sure you've seen something 
called Baoding Balls, they are usually painted with chinese designs and always 
reside in a ornamental padded box.

I'm not going to say that it does any of the stuff that some people spout 
about, but the exercise makes your wrist a lot stronger and reverses carpal 
tunnel if you spend some time doing it each day.  It really did work very 
well, and the set I bought was only $7 from an overpriced vendor in a casino 
(the only place I had seen them locally).  I was just happy I didn't have to 
dump a couple grand on surgury that would still cause real damage.

Here's a couple of urls that give a little info on 'em.  I know the second one 
is on ebay, but the info on the page is pretty straight forward.
