well, have you ever heard about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or CTS? actually, this causes because wrong position when use mouse or keyboard

What's CTS?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful disorder of the wrist and hand which is caused by irritation of the median nerve at the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a small circular structure located on the palm side of the wrist. Blood vessels, tendons and nerves travel through the tunnel and fan out to supply the palm and fingers of the hand. If this tunnel becomes inflamed and exerts pressure it causes numbness, tingling and pain in the hands and wrists

What's the indication?

If you feel like:
* Tingling and numbness in your thumb, index and middle finger.
* Aching in the forearm which can radiate to the shoulder and clumsiness or weak grip.

Not everyone shows classic, textbook carpal tunnel symptoms – you may be one of these. Instead, you may have:

* Tingling in all fingers
* Tingling only in the thumb or the middle finger
* Aching and pain in the hand
* Radiating pain to the shoulder or back.

also, you can do this Phalen's maneuver or Phalen's test

Bend
your wrist and maintain your hands position in a 90-degree angle,
pushing the back of both hands together, for about one minute. If you
do not feel any pain or numbness, then you are at least on the safe
level. Of course, the Phalen's maneuver is not a definite way to
diagnose but it helps to know at least.

Vitamins, minerals and carpal tunnel syndrome
B vitamins

A vitamin B6 deficiency may play a part in the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. Several small scale studies have found low vitamin B6 levels in sufferers of the disease.1 Some research suggests that treatment with supplements can improve symptoms which may reduce the necessity of surgery in some patients.

Some recent studies have cast doubt on these results. In a study of 125 randomly selected industrial plant workers, vitamin B6 levels were measured and the subjects filled out questionnaires and underwent nerve function tests. The researchers did not find a link between vitamin B6 and carpal tunnel syndrome.3 Vitamin B6 has been shown to change pain thresholds in clinical and laboratory studies which may explain studies which have shown significant improvements in pain scores when nerve conduction test results showed only mild improvements.

Vitamin B6 supplements may be useful in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome but intake should not exceed 100 mg per day as large doses can cause nerve damage. Some practitioners use higher doses but this should only be done under supervision. Some experts believe that a therapeutic effect may take at least three months to become apparent.

Riboflavin may also help to relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Combining riboflavin and vitamin B6 may be more effective than treatment with B6 alone. 4,5 Riboflavin is involved in the conversion of vitamin B6 to its active form.
