He is pretty good at what he does...

X2 Have had issues for years with my wrists. Found that C5,C6 in my neck has a compressed disc. After finding a good chiropractor and looking at his charts it all made sense. I too was thinking about surgery on the wrists. I'm glad I didn't. I still have issues from time to time but understand what is going on.

Interesting responses, thanks all. I shared this link with the wife so she can read your responses.

Hi all,

I have/had severe carpal tunnel in both hands. I found driving our 38' Monaco DP without any drive assist no problem. This was after two surgeries in each hand. YES, 2 times for each hand. The ligaments grew back, so I had to do it again. They are feeling much better now, and mine was also workers comp related, but I sure wish I had known to check in with a chiropractor. I did try acupuncture and physical therapy before, but alas surgeries is what it took for me.

Best of luck!
