Carpal Tunnel and almost losing my mind

Introverts Galaxy Podcast

Some years ago my wrists started hurting when I typed on my computer. I ignored the pain like any other Macho man. That was stupid and after a few years of not taking this serious, the pain was horrible and 24/7. I spent years seeing doctors, therapists, surgery and doing alternative medicines searching for a cure. And I didn't know exactly what was wrong!? The pain started in my wrists and after many years it spread to my forearms, hands, back, neck, feet! I am still not 100% sure what this is.

After many tests and doctors, I was give many diagnosis. It may be Carpal Tunnel, repetitive stress, tendonitis, spine issues or my mind. Reading books like “It’s Not carpal Tunnel Syndrome” by Suparna Damany, physical therapy, rest, exercise, posture and meditation helped me. I am now able to manage the pain and I believe I will heal myself with time.

10/24/25 update: After years navigating this messy health stuff, reading, learning and experimenting with exercise, meditation, counseling i feel around 90% better. I manage the little pain i sometimes get and it rarely limits me now. It would be hard to believe it if i could read this update years ago. Thank you to old, young me for not giving up. I love you or me lol.

About this podcast:

I was afraid to be myself for years. I pretended to be comfortable in social events, parties, work meetings. But inside I was struggling; afraid of being judged and saying something stupid. Then I read a book called Quiet by Susan Cain. This book changed my life.

I am learning and want to share this messy stuff about myself and the world. I hope you find this useful.
