This is what causes the 'damage'.

Combining this with repeated & numerous full days at a laptop, and lots of playing in the evenings, is when my symptoms appeared (on both wrists actually).

I noticed very quick improvement in my wrists when i started wearing the braces to bed, and trying to conciously straighten my wrists while sleeping/wakening. I only needed them for a short while.
Uh, fretting hand wrist is supposed to be more straight, not bent and preferably, not rotated.
