[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 325276, member: 1963"] If you are getting numbness and cramping in your shoulders/arms/hands from gripping the steering wheel, it might not be carpal tunnel. The pain could be from impinged nerves in your neck. I was misdiagnosed for years as having carpal tunnel in both wrists. As it turns out, I have "facet joint" arthritis in my neck that presses on the nerves to my arms when I have to hold them in certain positions like when I'm driving. I make regular 250 mile drives to visit friends and family in Milwaukee and the far northern Chicago suburbs. Even with getting out of the car every hour or so to get moving and stretch stuff, I still have problems with the numbness and cramping. [/QUOTE]
