Anyone ever got it? How do you deal with it? seems like it's what's happening to me and boy is it annoying, I've yet to have any real pain, it's just numbness and tingling for now

I've been getting these feelings for a while. The area of my Carpal Ligament and it itself are less than comfortable on my hand. Whenever it gets to bad I just take a day or more off of typing, really helps short-term but i'm guessing my sixties are going to blow.

Get some type of wrist support

When I detected it, I switched to dvorak. Haven't felt it since.

>I've yet to have any real pain, it's just numbness and tingling for now
It's probably strain related and not CTS, but ask a medical professional about it.

They're have 100%+ functional replacement limbs by then

or better yet an exoskeleton type system for movement after cutting the nerves to stop the pain

It's in the mail, hopefully taking a few days off work for healing, but I'm reading it would be a long time to heal if at all even with minimal activity, and I have nothing else to do but jerk off and play video games daily

>but ask a medical professional about it.
I'm american, that would cost like 20 grand, already used my health care up earlier when I needed anti-biotics

Also if I stretch out my hand it feels like electricity is moving through it

Try a mechanical keyboard. Using a chiclet keyboard like on a macbook fucks up my wrists but i can type pain free all day on my mechanical keyboard and my x220 thinkpad

Its a meme
no one IRL has it

Do pushups

It's incredibly painful currently for me to lift weights or put weight on my palm in either hand, more so on my right

Does it hurt when playing with a controller? You could do that instead of k/m. Also, try getting a thumb ball mouse.

Do pushups
The strain on your wrists strengthens them.

Pretty sure that only has the chance to cause me pain and more damage

not if you do it on your fingertips kiddo

Your wrists are baby weak wrists so they break when the wind changes
Upgrade to man wrists

Keep your wrist straight when you sleep. I experimented with a brace at night, but am just in the habit of putting my arms in positions that keep them straight now which gets the job done. While at home I use a ball mouse which doesn't require wrist movement when not engaging in gaymen. Also, don't use the feet on the keyboard, keeping the keyboard flatter is a better angel for your wrist.

i have to be maxed out on painkillers just to fucking walk

when did it become acceptable for fat people to show their faces in public and why did that occur?

1998 and third wave feminism.

Often have
These kind of problems run in my family, i would say its a position specific ailment, your hand gets in a specific position and then hurts like a motherfucker
It ranges from severe constant blunt pain, to sharp instantaneous pain

It doesn't bother me too much. Recall that you never see fat old people- that woman is going to die before 50, and she's lucky if she makes it past 40.

I've got it.

The main thing that has helped me, it wearing wrist braces while I sleep. I guess I tend to bend my hands into really weird positions while sleeping, and the braces give me time to recover.

Before I started wearing them, my hands were numb and twitching all the time. Now they are back to normal.

Ya,,,I have a small portable controller, using it slowly makes my hands go numb and eventually causes pain

Well if the brace for my right hand works out I'll probably end up needing one for my left hand as well

Nice meme, I've been using computers since the 90s and never once had issues with my wrist.

Go to the gym and start lifting.

Then stop being american. It's a rich country with a lot of resources but it somehow has one of the least trustworthy/reliable healthcare I have ever come across.

I have a problem with idiots who actually delude themselves into thinking being fat is healthy in anyway, but why anyone would seriously go into full /fit/ of rage is beyond me.

>used my health care to buy antibiotics
Nigger they cost less than a $ here in india

...

Thank you india for breeding super-germs resistant to all antibiotics

Because India (and Brazil too IIRC) stopped giving a fuck about patents and started giving appropriate for their sick and the US be fucked

>America

YMCA

Don't have it but know how it would feel as I had my wrist (and part of my inner forearm) cut open pretty badly in an accident. I also lost all feeling in the lower region of my palm (and the inner side of my forearm) when that happened.

I also got the tingling where it was numb but that went away after a month.

dont do this, it gives you carpal tunnel syndrome

...

>How do you deal with it?

... is that really healthy? Sorta looks like it´ll fuck up your wrist even faster

I really tried for about 2 months to switch, but it just made me sooo slow then I got a job, and had to switch back. How long did the switch take for you?

You have to keep doing it. Moving your arm up and down in-sync helps, too.

My wrists aren't painful yet but my pinky is getting pretty sore as I use it to press shift, escape (that I remapped to caps lock) and the window key (that is remapped to caps lock too). I'll probably have to change my keyboard layout at some point. It sucks.

you are doing something a lot (lifting, using computer...)
that thing puts a lot of effort in your wrist.
don't do that thing. rest and stretch.

That's because when you switched layouts you typed so fucking slow that your wrists got a break and healed

I had it, it went away.

>I'm american, that would cost like 20 grand
No, it wouldn't.

t. self pay.

fuckin not. the last thing you want is to put more stress on the wrist.
do not lift. stretch. if you want to do sports, do it softly until it gets better. avoid sports like boxing, tennis, basketball...

Based on what? What tumblr told you?

is the newest version of delete system32 meme.
you'll fuckin break your tendons doing that

I DON;T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANY MORE.

Pile books infront of keyboard, the poorfag solution.

I'm being 100% serious but I don't have that many books to reach the height of my keyboard and I don't have books in general.

Might go to my uni and steal their printer papers and stack em up. Feels ghetto as shit though

>I have no books

end yourself

Do you have wood and something to sand it?

I use one of those gel filled bars in front of the keyboard for when I type.

I found a trick for the mouse, just use your entire arm length to cheat. instead of resting your wirst on a wrist rest, rest your forearm on the wrist rest and manipulate the mouse with your hand, your wrist will naturally be up in the air not touching anything and won't get tired in that position.

Hate to break it to you OP but your Doritos hoarding fat ass probably has diabetes

unrar nerve

Not that poster but I learned dvorak back in highschool and was at my qwerty speed in 2 weeks. Kept the on screen keyboard up while I was doing important shit like homework but took it away when not so I was forced to try to remember.

how fucking snowed in are you?

a visit to the doctor (including ER) here in sweden is max $30, all costs covered.
if i get sent somewhere else the same day, those visits are free.
if i have major surgery and i have to stay at the hospital for a long period it's $8 per day and you get everything you need like 3 meals a day.
if i get more than $120 worth of bills from doctor/nurse visits in less than a year i get a free-card for 1 year from the date of the first visit.
same as above for prescription medicine but $200 limit.

and you get money ($100/month) for studying until you're 20 years old.
and interest rates for loans to study are almost non-existant, and you have your whole lifetime to repay them.

Switch input methods often. Instead of using a mouse use of pen tablet with your computer sometime. It'll change up the type of motion your hands are doing enough that it won't stress your wrists as much.

Dvorak I heard was helpful but takes a really long time to switch to. Funny thing is that people will have no idea how to use your keyboard.

There's a podcast called Cortex that had an episode about repetitive stress injuries and it was interesting to listen to.

You can try these exercises
They help somewhat to relax the arm
youtube.com/watch?v=hUyMNyrOHJQ

Best would be to switch input devices from time to time, like using a mouse in your job and then using a trackball at home.

Does this shit only happen when you dont exercise regularly? Never had this problem in college when i used to exercise, now three years later outer side of my wrist feels a low sharp pain sometimes.

The cause is repetitive motion leading to repetitive strain on the particular nerve.

Carpal tunnel syndrome falls under repetitive strain injury.

when something hurts you BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF IT UNTIL IT GETS STRONGER
this is called not being a little bitch
eventually you will get stronger and be able to do shit without it hurting

that's like saying if you shoot yourself and increase the calibre slowly, you'll be inmune to guns.
it does not work that way. he has to stop, when he is better, do something to make the wrist stronger.

no, its like saying the best time to lift weights is when you're sore af

which is true in case you're wondering.

if its just regular wrist pain he's being a little bitch and should use it more. if it's real cts, he should rest it.

> the best time to lift weights is when you're sore af

Are you mentally stable?
that works with muscles, and if the pain is for training and not for injuries.
when tendons, bones, nerves are between, you better fuckin stop.

funny, I didn't see that in LIKE I ASKED YOU YOU NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGER.

Says one thing.
then says another.
then rages because what he said before.

>LIKE I ASKED YOU YOU NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGER.

you lack intelligence. that was clear when you propose to still training when you are gettin pain.
back to /special education/

for OP. stop. muscular sore for training is ok. nerves, tendons, bones and joint pain is bad. always.

I use these cheap ass mouse pads. I was in agony until I realized I needed wrist support.

The pains went away after a week or two, I can only imagine what it would be like if you let it get worse and you were stuck with it for life. Fuck that.

I'm doing a DIY wrist rest with a stack of old assignment papers. how high should i stack it? Does it have to be the same height as the keyboard or the keys or just high enough for me to feel comfortable on my wrist?

You realize that policy is so fucking irresponsible that it has already led to the largest global health crisis in front of the World Health Organization right now, right?

I had this issue, OP. I suffered years because of it. Then I started lifting weights, doing pulling exercises and grip exercises. Pain is gone. Please try this.

Get your hand replaced OP

Someday, in the meantime I bought a brace, it's pretty good so I've rush ordered another one for my left hand, seems to be helping a bit, though now my hand is constantly numb, hopefully I heal up before the weekend
