Is it common to develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at age 14?

I've asked questions before about CTS and mentioned my symptoms and how I have been playing bass clarinet, piano, and clarinet for almost 4 years now. I play almost 5 hours every day and when I'm not practicing, I'm either writing or on the computer. I hear all of the time that it's not possible to develop CTS at this young of an age, but when I think of my symptoms and the ones for CTS, I get so confused. Is it possible for it to develop at my age due to my activities, or is it something else?

What is the percentage of getting rid of carpal tunnel?

The only way to get rid of it is surgery. They go into your wrist and snip a nerve. The problem is sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I first discovered it when I was in 8th grade and I'm 63 now and still have it. When I first noticed it they didn't have a name for it and didn't know much about it. So, either have the surgery or learn to live with it. It never gets any better, only worse.

Anyone know about Florida's Pre VPK program (free preschool)? I have a question.?

My son turns 4 in late August so I have let his day care know that I would like him to start Pre VPK (Florida's free preschool) there in August. So I went to check him in to day care this morning and it said he has been moved from the 3 year old room to the Pre VPK room and is now in that class. As far as I know you can either take it during the summer for 5 hours a day or for the entire school year for 3 hours a day. Does anyone know if he can take it for the summer AND for the school year? If he can only do one or the other I need to make sure he only takes it for the school year. The reason being the before and after care is cheaper and his little brother is starting daycare in August so I'm trying to get my day care costs down to a minimum. Anyone that knows about this, your input is appreciated.

Is President Obama disconnected from the America that he's supposed to Govern?

Obama still seems to be in perpetual campaign mode and NEVER in any kind of leadership mode. He likes to make a great speech about something and then pawn everything off on someone else while he goes golfing far away from the fray.He pawned the stimulus and Obamacare off on Pelosi, and pawned the debt crisis off on Biden. He submitted a joke of a budget a few months ago, and then didn't even try to come back and defend it except a couple of very vague speeches in which he mumbled something about raising taxes. Obama should be focused 100% on our economic crisis, and should be on TV outlining his plan (which it is clear that he doesn't even have). Instead, he waits for the GOP to actually come up with a plan, then only comes on TV to demagogue it to death with lies and half truths while never offering an alternative. This demonstrates a COMPLETE lack of leadership! Even Jimmy Carter at least TRIED to do something. Obama won't even do that. he just goes golfing which is a slap in the face to the rest of us who are struggling.

My dog has always had a small blood blister on his head. He is 4 years old.?

In the last 4 days it has grown to half the size of a golf ball. Can I treat it with alcohol and wait or is this an emergency? Should I take him too the vet right away?
