Hi . That is a great question. I have carpal tunnel syndrome from years of typing. I have not ever thought there could be a connection. Have you asked your doctor about this? I would be fascinated to hear what the response was if you have. You can also list your question on our forum thread to get more responses. If you don't know how to do that, we would be happy to do that for you if you let us know. Vickie, Team Member
