My husband is a self-taught pianist, started at 10 and is now 49. He suffers from what has been diagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. Night-time splints on his hands/wrists seem to help – and when he doesn’t use those, his pain flares up again.

His pain also comes with numbness and tingling, and it’s predominantly in his middle fingers, so I think that’s why CTS was diagnosed.
