(That Just Won't Stay On My Head)
Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences with Sociology Minor (with Distinction)
The girl sitting next to me at the ceremony told me that she also has carpal tunnel syndrome, when I described to her exactly where I was feeling pain in my arm. She had tried cortical steroid treatments and exercises and they didn't work for her, and she declined surgery because the procedure leaves one without sensation in the palm of the hand - which meant that while she would have still technically been able to play the piano, she would not be able to feel it, which is much more important for the expressive aspect of technique. She just lives with the pain and bears it. She says that she got it from piano, so I wonder if that in itself weakened my wrists enough that they were more vulnerable... once I stopped playing as regularly as I used to.
