Carpal Tunnel from Shooting?

Recommended Posts

If shooting is flaring it up, then you have non related underlying problems. You already have CTS.

 

If I shoot my ultra 1911 alot, it aggravates it. Start wearing wrist bans when shooting. Helps alot.

Yup, I know a few seasoned shooters that have developed CTS in both wrists from extensive shooting over the course of many years. These guys were either professional shooters, or shot extensively in the military so we are talking lots of lead downrange. Makes me think of shooters more pussified loads of 9mm more often then other calibers.

I can tell you that I definitely got a case of tennis elbow from some dryfire practice, and I've been doing a lot of work to strengthen those tendons and the muscle supporting them.

Yea, but you should be holding your gun with both hands. This way your weak hand won't have elbow problems.
