Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Carpal tunnel syndrome and flyfishing

Have the surgery. I just did it last fall. 100% improvement. Commonwealth orthopaedic did mine.

I am wondering if anyone else suffers from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  Fly Fishing seems to really irritate mine.

Currently I am having worse than normal issues with it because of the work I was doing on my boat this year.  It is pretty bad in my right hand and I am frequently dealing with numb feelings etc.  I am really trying to avoid surgery.

In the past I noticed that it also is agitated by fly casting.  I think that it has something to do with the position your wrist is in when you are holding the rod and stripping line.  I have tried wearing a brace and casting but that is really hard to do.

Does anyone else deal with this and have suggestions on how to keep this from bothering me when I am fly fishing?
