I had carpal tunnel when I was pregnant at age 32. Had surgery in both hands and they are great. I got tennis elbow this summer. Not sure why or how to tell you the truth. They say it takes up to six months for it to heal. I wear the brace and such. It only really hurts if I am lifting something heavy or turning it wrong like at the office when I pick up the phone at a reach. Nice thing is that it doesn't hurt when quilting most of the time. When doing ruler work on longarm, tends to get achy. Thanks for the good thoughts terriamn.
