RSI
Do any of you have RSI? If so, how do you treat/stop it?
I'm getting to the point where I wake up, type a little bit, and after five minutes, I can feel pain on the underside of my wrists. I can occasionally feel it in my forearms and hands too.
This terrifies me. I'm 26, and typing is my life, and it already hurts.
This weekend, I took a day off with no typing to let my arms heal a bit, and then today I started typing and it came back immediately.
So have any of you had success treating it? I've been thinking about taking anti-inflammatories like Advil. Also, I notice that some people use wrist braces. What does that do? Would a split keyboard really help at all?
Please, chime in. If you've had RSI and talked to any experts or taken any treatments to alleviate it, let me know. I'm afraid that I'm doing permanent damage to myself and I want to avoid it, but I *have* to type. It's the backbone of my job, and nearly all of my leisure activities.
