I don't know if that's what I have, but my right arm is in agony.  I have to type left handed.  I'm going to see hatchet-man when I get home this weekend. 
 
Reduced posting from me may undo the damage my bullying has caused.  :)
 
Try to hold off on the raucous celebrations until I'm out the door, please. 

it may seem trivial, but if you mouse a lot, try changing hands (eg, i'm right-handed, but at work i mouse southpaw style, it definitely makes a difference)

With carpel tunnel syndrome the pain is often in the hand itself, also you get a tingling or pins and needles sensation in the fingers, although arm pain is also part of the deal. Does it alleviate after moving the fingers and shaking the wrist? Thats usually a good indicator of CPS. Either way, you need to seek treatment. Hope it gets better quick for you Bubba.,

I really hate hand problems.  As a result of my Bone Marrow Transplant several years ago I've had to deal with various Graft vs. Host issue, the most recent being GvHD related scleroderma.  The medication I'm taking to counteract some of the related symptoms is causing severe cramping, especially in my right hand to the point where even writing with a pen has become bothersome and sometimes very painful and excessive use of a mouse can get it going - thankfully I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts so I've been able to work around the mouse issue.  

Thankfully holding a guitar pick seems OK so far and I'm right handed and my left hand very rarely cramps.  I hope you figure out whats up.

My pain is located in the forearm about 1.5" below the wrist, so it may be something else.  i'm going to ice it this afternoon.  Thanks for the feedback.

You're going to carpet this?

I've never had any issues with carpal tunnel (thank Goodness). Bubba, are you going to get it evaluated by a witch doctor Physician? Just to rule it out?

The other alternative (which I thought Bapu might encorporate to increase his Post count Nirvana) is using This. (Works well for bullies too)

Sorry for the pain Bubba. Hope you get better soon.

Have you tried an inexpensive wrist brace? Might not work for your specific issues, but I've had problems from time to time where it definitely helped. It was well worth the $6 it cost me.

I was going to use a shag carpet, Bapu, just for the Austin Powers jokes.

Yeah, baby!

I'm going to try a wrist brace because I hate typing left handed. 

I am going to see a rip off artist (I mean, "Doctor").  I expect to be told, "Stop doing that".  He's a bully.

I'm about to go off-leash, escape the office, and go ice this thing.

It's almost like a vacation...
