I have one of those as well!  Actually my office is the most comfortable place 
to sit in the house as everything is set to perfectly fit me!  Which is good 
as at times I spend 18 hours straight, right there!   Carpal tunnel can be 
relieved by having keyboards, chairs, armrests, and even the monitor set to 
ergonomic height, thereby relieving a lot of strain.   However, both my wife 
and I avoided surgery for severe carpel tunnel, neither of us could hold a 
cup of coffee in one hand, by use of alfalfa tea.  Doctors ask us both how we 
cured that problem without the surgery they thought was so necessary!  They 
are amazed at the difference.  She works in an office as typist among other 
things and she was suffering badly each day she worked on a keyboard, now 
there is no problem.
