Of course. Especially if you are doing anything repetetive like typing with that hand.Wear a wrist splint at night, ice it, and rest it.If anyone says surgery, get a second or third opinion.

Yes, I don't see why it wouldnt be possible. I dont know that age has anything to do with carpal tunnel syndrome.

yes... my younger brother got it from playing too many video games all day and the repeative motion gave it too him, he had to have surgery and guess what he doesn't believe the doctor that it is from that! lolcarpal tunnel is repeative motion so texting all day, typing all day, hairstylist and nail techs get it more often just because they are constantly doing the same thing over and over....worth your money to go and see a doc. if it isn't too bad just bothers you here and there than i would get wrist guards wear them at night take some asprin when it gets bad during the day and some compresses on them heat helped mine more than cold...if its more constant you'll have to sport the wrist guards (get them at any drugstore) during the day. if its severe you'll have to get surgery but don't freak-just see a doc!

yes, carpal tunnel is not effected by age. It is caused by typing too much.
