How do we solve the forearm and wrist pain from using a mouse problem?

abstinence

adjust your seat

Know how to position your wrist. Or alternatively, do some research and invest in ergonomically sound desk furniture.

I haven't had this issue since 2008 once i realized how useful having an armchair with roomy and adjustable armrests are

>>61263033

that too

git gud

>>61263033

should my arm rest be level with the mouse exact?

>>61263010
Adjust your seat, change exactly where and how you sit, have a looser grip on your mouse unless you absolutely need pixel precision, lower your sensitivity if you're not moving your arm at all to comfortably scroll from side to side.
Fixed.

>>61263144
Your elbow should be roughly level, or, mine is and I've never had issues like this. The only time in my life I've had any issues in the slightest was when I was younger, my wrists would grow hard skin from using a laptop.

>>61263144
ideally you would use the same seating position that you use when playing the piano

>>61263010
I use programs that put an emphasis on keybindings so that i don't have to reach for the mouse. same with my WM, i can use bindings to traverse windows, resize, etc. For when i have to use a mouse i have a trackball. i find that moving my hand is a lot kinder than moving my whole arm

>>61263010
Trackballs help as you don't have to move your wrist.

Vim bindings

If you use a pointer often then get a wacom tablet, otherwise humanscale makes a good articulating keyboard tray.

pic related is mine

I've only ever got pain in that area from excessive clicking. I'm pretty sure it's caused by finger movement and not wrist movement.

Do this exercise a few times a day, really helps

Command line interface

>>61263010
Use a lacrosse ball to massage your forearms, also fix your posture when sitting on a computer. Invest in an adjustable table and adjustable chair. And finally, fucking get off your ass and exercise, muscle weakness makes you more prone to RSI.

>>61265425
becaise after you rip your tendon you get a cast which means no hand movment and no pain ?

>>61263010
dyel?

>>61265549
Doing that isn't harmful in any way.

i3 gaps + ranger + vim + qutebrowser/firefox with vimfx/lynx + mutt + cmus
unironically using these
if i'm forgetting something add it in

Use a touchscreen

sauce?

Once you start feeling pain it's already too late to do anything about it.

Just pray they'll invent cybernetic limbs in your life time so you can have your gimp art cut off and replaced with a bad ass mechanical one.

>oo-nii chaaan it's too big!!

>>61265425
I get goosebumps just thinking about doing that.

Install Gentoo.

My wrists are alright but I have pain in my left elbow. Thinking of buying a chair with adjustable armrests.

Do this stuff. Adjust your seat, stretch, exercise

>>61263010
fall for the trackball meme.

also play console games instead of pc games.

Start lifting, not even memeing I haven't had wrist issues or carpel tunnel for over a year now.

slowdown your mouse speed an start using your arm instead of wrist

Get qck mass

>>61263010
Don't use a mouse.

>>61263010
Try the following: vertical mice, trackballs, the Magic Trackpad, graphics tablets. If it helps, great. If it doesn't, stop using the mouse. Use the keyboard. Stop using laptops to do work, too.

Depends what OS you use. Do you use some jumbled pajeetery clusterfuck of inconsistent tablet and mouse UI elements and drivers from 2005, or do you use an OS which was made for humans to use and interact with using human gestures?

The final solution to forearm and wrist pain. Granted you have the balls to endure the pain of first hand embarrassment, let alone second hand embarrassment from seeing pic related.

Deadlifts

>>61267160
deadlifts solve all issues.

while you're there just dedicate a day to forearm. it will make you look alpha as fuck in any type of shirt.

Remove software that requires a mouse pointer; if you play games start playing ski-ball and now you have buff wrists. Hooray.

Teach yourself to use a mouse with the other hand. When I start getting RSI in one hand, I switch the other one; usually 6-8 weeks at a time. I use a computer most of the day at work, then come home and sit in front of another one the rest of the day. It's been working for 20-ish years for me.

>>61263010
Arm rest.
Elbow around the same level as mouse.
Find the mouse that fit your hand.
Keep your elbow closer to your body mean you need to twist your forearm more to use regular mouse, pointing your elbow outward (with arm rest supported) actually better.

But if your desk too small for that, use a vertical mouse.

>>61263010
Gymnastics, anon. Search for GMB wrist stretch.

Vertical mouse works for this issue I use one at work.

Pic related or similar.
I had wrist/elbow/shoulder aches as well till I started using one.
It does not have the accuracy of a real mouse though so I wouldn't recommend it if you need good/fast precision like you would in vidya for example. Sometimes I need to adjust the cursor a little bit when doing drawing for example but it is by no means an issue for basic work tasks.
Added bonus: write faster due to not having to move your hand from mouse to keyboard.

Exercise.
