Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Don't ruin your wrists, anon.
Thanks a ton to the guy helping me on the earlier thread. Really appreciate it.
I'm probably booking a new appointment soon as my current doctor is not taking me seriously and her ultimate solution is to "stop using the computer". I don't think she understands how much I need it for work and education.
I'm guessing using an ergonomic keyboard didn't help much.
My hands are permanently fucked (thritis). I'm 22.
Holy shit. I'm sorry for you, bruh. Care to steer your story?

I find that I get what seems to be carpal tunnel when I put on weight. I lose weight and it goes away.
No joke.
Just done carpal tunnel release procedure last week. Still in recovery stage.

Thats what you get for not using the best grip
>mfw all my life used the best grip and zero problems at all
>mfw i see all my friends with carpal tunnel while i laugh at them
how does using the computer cause this? Ive been using it all my life 24/7 and I'm fine.

how else would you hold your mouse other than on pic related?
Gee my wrist hurts a little I think I'll rest so it heals normally.
Said no carpal tunnel sufferer ever in the history of carpal tunnel.

people put pressure on the underside of their wrist and then move the tendons
mostly they're sitting too high and are maybe max retard and using a "wrist rest", which further exacerbates the problem

Inflammation from overuse combined with repeated overuse and scarring that cause more inflammation.

does it hurt a lot?

Many have had this here, I broke arm in an accident too on top of this, and had to retrain my arm.
Anyways if you go to a physio therapist he can teach you some stretches that are important to do.
Also use this arm rest before your KB and on your mousepad, it all does wonders. I still have to stretch a lot, particular after workout

Yes extremely.
Comparable to a second degree burn.

My right hand index finger is curved as the mouse left button from years of using a gaming mouse.
I dont have this but I can't stretch my fingers properly anymore because I had been boxing all my youth and many times I didn't tape them properly before training.
Mouse use is far worse than keyboard for me. I'm a programmer but I end up using the mouse a lot, I suppose I could install pentadactyl and vsvim.
