  1. Today's a bad wrist day. Carpal tunnel is not cooperating with me, so a lot of games are just not going to happen. But I think I can handle Outbound, so let's give that a try! #gaming #carpaltunnel #outbound

  2. Ah yes, because the world was desperately yearning for yet another obscure text editor clone, this time written in everyone's favorite "what is this even?" language, #TclTk. 🖥️🤔 Clearly, the future of editing lies in turning our keyboards into irrelevant relics while we bask in the glory of mouse-induced carpal tunnel. 🖱️😂

  5. Spouse got me this Hayvenhurst #wallet last #Xmas & I can't even figure out how to open it. I already have some #carpalTunnel symptoms, I don't need more. I'm sticking with my #Fidelo.

  6. why did nobody tell me that typing 20k keystrokes a day can mess up your wrists?? 😱 apparently that's normal for office work?? like my gaming sessions might actually be healthier than my future desk job lmaooo #CarpalTunnel

  7. 🍏 Apple's #Magic Mouse: the perfect blend of style and carpal tunnel #syndrome. Even Tim Cook opts for a third-party #mouse, proving that sometimes you need functionality over a shiny paperweight. 😂 #NotSoMagicMouse

  8. Symptoms of the carpal tunnel syndrome

    The main symptoms of carpal tunnel are: arm or shoulder pain, weakness, tingling, numbness, difficulty clenching a fist or picking up small objects. It is recommended to limit, stop or change activities that cause discomfort.

    A splint for the hand may be useful Treatments such as: manual therapy may also help; osteopathy; acupuncture.

  9. Ah, yes, the legendary Go error handling—where writing a novel on "if err != nil" is not just encouraged, it's practically a sport! 🎉🔧 Forget writing real code; the real achievement is achieving carpal tunnel from repetitive error checks. Who knew #verbosity was the new minimalism? 🤦‍♂️

  10. @release_candidate I switched to trackballs after getting #CarpalTunnel syndrom in they late 1990s and have never looked back. Love them. They stay put and can be used on an otherwise cluttered desk...

    I prefer the ones where I don't have to use my thumb to operate the ball, unfortunately Logitech discontinued those, so my current favourite is #Kingston Expert Mouse.

    but get the wired one. Wireless trackballs make no sense whatsoever for a desktop computer.

  11. TIL if one hand starts becoming paler in color than the other, especially after typing, it is a possible indicator of carpal tunnel syndrome. You're probably putting pressure on the nerve and artery in your hand which both run through the carpal tunnel. Make sure to take breaks and stretch your wrists.

  13. Thinking About Ergonomics
    As writers we often spent a lot of time at our desks. If we spent that time with our body out of alignment (I know I find myself leaning forward and propping up my head on my elbow to read long articles), or typing with bad posture, that's going to reflect itself in our bodies. In this episode I talk

    I hope I’m not speaking out of place, but if you’re a disabled Xbox gamer who has a story about this change impacting you, maybe let @LauraKBuzz know what your story is for her reporting on the topic.

    I don’t have an Xbox, but I do have carpal tunnel so having my favored controller taken away from me would be somthing to cry (literally) about.

  16. The fact that a wrist brace makes using a mouse and keyboard very uncomfortable and unnatural probably highlights why I need the brace in the first place. #CarpalTunnel #RepetitiveStrainInjuries #ITLife

  17. @atomicpoet

    I largely agree with you...

    I do disagree on one point.

    More than any other activity, device, or controller, holding a steam deck sets off my carpal tunnel.

    Even if I'm resting it on a table or something to hold the weight I'm in literal pain inside 15 min where I get a 1-3 hours with any other controller I own.

    So while I LOVE my deck, and use it a lot, I do kind of groan a bit anytime anyone calls it "ergonomic".

    #steamDeck #carpalTunnel

  18. Super awesome. Been doing plenty of stretching, including my wrists, and I'm still getting a carpal tunnel flareup on my right side. Found my brace, so maybe I'll be able to fall asleep soon... At least i don't have to be to work till 3... #CarpalTunnel

  19. Anyone have any recommendations for wrist braces/splints, that don't pinch the skin between the index finger and thumb?

  20. So I’m getting #CarpalTunnel Release surgery on Thursday- a week earlier than originally planned due to a scheduling mistake. Excited to get the pain addressed, but nervous about recovery because it’s my dominant hand. :blobcatbandage:

  21. I watched yesterday's Pulvertaft Webinar on "why hand surgery is a failure" by our trustee Prof Dom Furniss. I highly recommend it if you want to hear about his research! The Dupuytren part starts at 29 minutes in, but the thumb osteoarthritis and carpal tunnel/ trigger finger research he explains before that is also fascinating.

  22. I should be able to get back into gaming on Sunday. I've given my thumb plenty of rest and even after flaring up again after treatment, it's beginning to feel better.

    :pika_thumbsup:

  23. Took the antiinflammatories and steroids as prescribed. Now that I'm out, my thumb is beginning to hurt again, hence the movie day instead of game day. Sniffle.

    #carpaltunnel #chronicpain

  24. If anyone has ideas for wrist pain, I'd love to hear about them.

    I have the brace (it'd work better if I were wearing it). Tonight my PT also used some metal tool to torture my forearm.

    Me: Is that supposed to feel like raking over gravel?

    Him: <laughs> Ohhh no. No, this is much worse than normal.

    Me: <laughs> I like to excel at things.

    I got some stretches, too. Beyond that....? Ideas? I'm open to anything, my webdev class is suffering. :/

    1. It's my FRIDAY! :cheers:

    2. Steroids and anti-inflammatories are WORKING for my bum thumb. 💊

    3. Binge watched season three of Emily in Paris today. 📺

  26. Since I've just changed servers, for those of you that are not aware I'm currently on gaming hiatus due to a thumb injury.

    I was at the point where I couldn't even button things. It's starting to heal with a brace, rest, and rotating cold and heat.

    I hope I'm healed by Thursday, but honestly if not Tuesday I'm going to the doc. I should have already been, but I'm a procrastinator, too!

  27. My thumb 👎 is definitely forked. I can't even use it to put a "rubber" band in my hair or randomly dig in my purse, much less any kind of mouse usage.

  28. It's been ten weeks since my surgery. Recovery has been going really well, and it feels like my hand is 90% healed.

    Except I strained my finger somehow a couple of days ago (playing with my daughter? strumming a guitar?), and now everything is agonizing again.

    I suspect the final 10% is gonna take some time.

  29. Any recs for typing with carpal tunnel symptoms? This sucks #carpaltunnel
