I was just wondering If anyone has developed carpel tunnel syndrome from the repetitive hand motions used in hair pulling? I think I am. Im gonna book an appointment for the Doc tomorrow, and see. Ive been losing feeling in both my hands and They get stuck when im typing or writing, or well anytime I really.
Yeah, Just wondering if anyone has, or is, and how severe it can get and anything to do about it?

I think the incessant repetitive motion can def. lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
I think asking a doctor about it is a great idea. You should def. god. Good luck!!
The fact that your hands are getting stuck and losing feeling sounds serious -- please do make sure you follow through with the doctor's appointment.
Also -- you know those wrist braces that people wear sometimes for carpal tunnel syndrome? Maybe wearing those would also make it harder to pull your hair!
In sweden we say, my hands are sleeping!!
WheresMyHairs suggestion was good, maybe I should try this too, wrist braces? Hmmm,and a helmet!!!
