Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

If anyone has ever talked about this on the BBS, I either missed it or it has been years. I was recently diagnosed with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and have linked it directly to the way that I hold my tuba. There are many sites devoted to CTS, check one out and see if your hand is in the proper position...it is worth it.
I can no longer play for more than 20 minutes with out a break. At its worst, I was down to 2 minutes.
There are braces commercially available at drug stores through out the world to correct your hand and wrist position. I use it while playing.
Has any one else encountered this?

Thanks, JON MEYER
