I think I have carpal tunnel syndrome from using the trackpad too log at a bad angle. Europa Universalis did what years of typing couldn't.

My wrist has been twinging for three days, even as I use my left hand for everything. I'm not sure if it'll go away of its own accord.
How do you deal with it?

I ask because this place has to be carpal tunnel central, and because normie places will say, "only doctors know how to stop pain. Go ask a surgeon if paying him to do surgery on you is a good idea, he has your best wallet at heart."

You'd be surprised how you are judged on the quality of your pic.

Same here OP. Here are some things that helped me.

I exercise my hands while I am reading (inb4 masturbating) and using a wired mouse helps.
There is an app called XMouse that lets you use your phone as a mouse and keyboard, and is quite comfy for me.

Probably. I just googled "bend wrist laptop."

>>56337357
What kind of exercises? I thought my wrist was out of commission for most things.

At the moment, I'm typing using my left hand and right thumb, moving the entire right arm from the elbow and shoulder.
Starting to see the appeal of a tablet.

Don't think, go to a professional and get professional advice.

You probably just strained it and need some rest from the PC. Go outside and pretend to enjoy the sun for a couple days.

God you autists are insufferable.

1. Drink your piss.
2. Stretch and focus massage on the region.
3. See step 1.

get a wrist brace. they sell them in cvs/walgreens/any type of drug store.

just wear it when you're home and on the computer. it looks retarded but they do help. i started wearing one because i was getting the same shit, tingly wrist and numb fingers.

Practice gripping things and massage your hands. Also get a brace like the other anon said.

I recommend getting a wireless keyboard or typing with your thumbs instead of getting a tablet.

all memes aside, medical cannabis salve if it's available where you live

it seems like a bad idea to mask pain like this, that will probably just fuck his wrist up even more because he won't notice how bad it hurts
>>

An ointment won't get you high unless you ingest it, I think. It has pretty amazing anti-inflammatory properties. I know it has a terrible rep, but for any aches involving joints (no pun intended) there's nothing better.

That’s still masking pain. He will still have bad habits.

Pain is usually a sign of physical damage, no sense in suppressing it completely
>>
Pain is a sign of bad habits. However, pain causes damage in your body and its important to treat that. Anti inflammatory is a good call.

His pain started recently so it’s not severe and permanent yet. He needs to learn better habits and he won’t know if his attempts are working unless he can feel the minutest levels of pain.

OP just take it easy on your wrist in future.
>>
>>56337204
Start using a trackball mouse instead of the trackpad. It is easier on your wrist and does not need to be on a flat surface.
