: There are so many different theories about the causes of CTS, I thought I'd ask what some of you think is the cause in your case?
: I'm in the 30-50 age group and female, so that fits in with the 'hormone' theory. However, I am also an avid 'cross stitcher', play the piano and type/write a lot. Add on the fact that I'm overweight and I had no chance of avoiding CTS, did I? ;)
: I'm wondering if this means that the cause could be down to my 'hormones' and weight, and doesn't mean I'll have to give up my main hobby of needlecraft? No one has advised me to cease but I'd hate to carry on and find that I need further surgery.
: So, what do you think is the cause behind your CTS?

Hi Valerie,
My CTS is strickly from my job, no doubt about it. Although I am in the "age" group that would be my only other contributing factor. BUT, I only have it in my right (dominant hand), I am on numerical keyboards and calculators all day, and mousing to boot, strickly with my right hand...my left only gets used for e-mails and such.
I do have some hobbies, but I don't do them enough and use both hands equally so it can't be that. I am underwieght for my height, so that's not it either.
But bottom line is you have it, and that sucks.
wish you the best in whatever treatment you use.
kitty
