O.K. So I turn 40 next week, and I guess it's time to start feeling older than 18.

From all the typing and painting I've been doing lately, I find my right hand hurts, like a carpal tunnel small pain in the back of my right hand. Does anyone else experience this? It's happened before, and with a little rest, goes away. Nonetheless, thinking about the ramifications to a future chronic problem makes me worry.

Does anyone have a regimen/excercise they do to prevent future hand problems?

I don't want to be an alarmist, but I also don't want to have problems in 15 years if I could have avoided it by just doing smart measures now.

Thanks all for your insights -
