I hope to some day become a heart surgeon, but I have some physical restraints that may interfere with this goal.
I usually go on the computer for more than 25 hours in an entire week. It is because of this that I have carpal tunnel syndrome and that my forearms and wrists as well as fingers ache and hurt. I even have trouble sometimes doing normal things such as brushing my teeth without pain and eating food. I am fairly young, only 16 and I was wondering if there is any way for me to fix my hands. I haven't consulted with a physician yet about my hand problems, so its not confirmed that I have carpal tunnel, but I do have all the symptoms. Do you guys know how I can strengthen my hands and wrists and possibly regain the vitality in order to become a surgeon one day? I have greatly reduced my hours spent on the computer.
Also, I know that surgeons do like 10 hour surgeries sometimes and I wonder how they do this without getting carpal tunnel or other nerve disorders. Or is it common for surgeons to have carpal tunnel? And If so how do they deal with it, and how are they able to perform additional surgeries with that disorder?
Lastly, for some reason I'm unable to hold liquids for a long time, again I'm only 16 and I have no idea why I have to wake up every night to go to the bathroom. Do you guys know how I can fix my bladder so I can last longer? This never happened to me before, but for some reason this year I have to wake up every night, the saddest part is I'm so young.
Anyways thanks for the help!
PS. I'm not looking for anyone's sympathy so please be honest and share only the truth. It is better I know now that I cant pursue a career as a surgeon than waste my time going through all the preparations only to find out that I'm unable to do it.
