How long do people in Canada generally sit on a waiting list in need of surgery for a severe case of anything? That seems messed up. Are you guys short on doctors or something?

Welcome to socialized medicine, where those that don't have to pay, use 50% more, than those that have to actually pay for it.

And then there's American medicine, where everyone pays 200% more.

Just so you don't get things mixed up the wait list is for elected free medical care. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I felt some symptoms doing trade skills and factioning quests. I would suggest not spamming the bs button unless doing a raid mob.

I'm going to the doctor soon for my mouse wrist. I don't think I have carpal tunnel, but I believe I have a small cyst that's been irritated by the constant rotating the mouse to move in circles. My wrist has been feeling pretty sore over the past two weeks.

I had a cyst removed on my other wrist a few years ago, and the symptoms seem somewhat similar (I've had some others removed from random places.) I'm not super thrilled to have it removed because I won't be able to use my wrist at all for a few weeks/a month.

everquest made me a fat 450-pound mongoloid so I'm on the doctor's waiting list to get some help with that

I started to get some symptoms when I got really into tradeskilling for a few months. Swish, I don't know how far progressed your carpal tunnels are, but these exercises (along with a break from the computer for a week) helped me out tremendously. I don't have symptoms anymore.

Really good video.

If you can stop doing what it is that's specifically causing it, poor posture etc, and do execises regularly, it's possible to prevent full on carpal tunnel syndrome.

Is it possible that jousting on red makes you hit your auto attack key too much? I know it's an issue with bards. Consider getting a mouse with programmable hotkeys on the side. Those things will save your wrists.
