I’ve been studying for CPA for a year with little exercise and now it seems my body is aching in certain places, mainly my wrists, hands, and fingers. I’m only in my late twenties and pains have already developed. Anyone deal with this?

Probably a lot of things going on but I find that I get achy when I'm not drinking enough water, and didn't drink NEARLY enough water when I was studying for the exams.

Yeah..except every where for me. Get a blood test for inflammation (CRP/SED Rate). Taking some advil and curcumin supplements and helping a bit. My finger was swollen for 5 months..along with other joints in my body. Trying to recover from the chronic stress placed on me for over a year. Also, I'm 29.

It could be carpal tunnel syndrome. I developed carpal tunnel syndrome after I started this process. Although, I think it started when I was in college, but it definitely has gotten worse. I'm supposed to get surgery, but I'm waiting until after I finish with these tests.
