After few months of different recoveries I thought I will finally be able to lift normally, however I think I had developed carpal tunnel syndrome in one wrist due to all the clicking at work and at home. I will go to doctor for it but what would be the best exercise-wise? For cardio probably swimming, hiking, rolling blades,… (pretty much anything) and for resistance training machines?
I hope I will be healthy for some time after I resolve this issue and not go into another one in next few weeks.
I think I might have in from pain in the wrist and numbness in hand. At my work I do a lot of repetive clicking and I also use computer outside of work time.
Last week we had only 3 work days so pain was gone and I thought it went away however today pain returned.
I know this seems counterintuitive, but forearm work always seemed to help.
Having a dowel with a 20 foot rope and a plate on the end that you stand on a balcony and roll up and down lets me wake up without having to hold my hand in the air for 30 seconds when I wake up.
There are lots of ergonomic mouse, keyboard and keyboard pad options to look into investing in. There’s also good chance you’ll be able to get your employer to pay for it, especially if you live/work in a Western country
Yesterday I went to doctor and it is highly likely that I have carpal tunnel syndrome (she did two tests). I bought new stuff for home, will need some new stuff at work (costs on employer). In few weeks I also need to go to special doctor so she confirms diagnosis and makes treatment plan.
I went to physiatrist who did some test, however then she looked at my hands and saw blisters from weights and just told me to stop weights. She did refer me to physiotherapist tho, who said that it’s probably carpal tunnel syndrome and syndrome of the nerve next to it. He thinks origin is mostly repetitive movements from the job. In his opinion solution is to strengthen some muscle and loosen others, because surgery or therapy will only lasted for limited time. If exercises do not work best solution would be probably to find a new job.
I’d probably cut out the extracurricular computer use (you mentioned you’re on it in your free time) before I quit my job. That’s obviously up to you, though, but I’d be aggressive with the variables I could control before I risked a true life disruption.
