Ice can be uncomfortable, but do it. Stretch your wrist and forearms (check YouTube vids for more on this). Try to minimize whatever repetitive movement you’re doing. I had to buy an electric toothbrush and use my non-dominant hand for like 2 months to brush my teeth because it got so bad.

Go see a doctor if you haven’t already— follow their instructions and don’t push it. Pushing it = setback.

Thanks! Yea the repetitive movements are deadly. Funny, teeth brushing never would’ve occurred to me as one of them

Check on ergonomics of your work area. Being mindful of how I sit and position my arms and wrists made a big difference.

In addition to the great advice others offered, regular yoga can help stretch and strengthen wrists over time. Just take is slow in the beginning so you don’t make it worse.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

We’d be outdoors anyways, so do I put my anxiety aside and risk it or ask them to get a PCR and just postpone to next week?

Over the last few years I’ve allowed myself to gain 40 pounds. I often feel uncomfortable and unattractive in my own body, and I fear that the extra weight puts me at greater risk if I were to catch Covid (though I am vaccinated). Despite all this, I struggle to find the motivation to change. I have lost weight before, but it all came creeping back. I feel very cynical about trying to lose it again. I guess I am just not unhappy enough to try again. Has anyone been in the same boat?

Solid tips or strategies on cutting back on alcohol? My bf & I were moderate drinkers before the pandemic, but over the year I’m fairly confident we’ve become heavy drinkers (6-7days/wk). I’m stressed about it and have mentioned cutting back for a while, but he insists we’re fine. I find it rly difficult to go cold turkey or cut by myself when he’s still drinking as “normal” and we share our living space. We’re aware of all the health risks, but that alone hasn’t changed us. All advice welcome!
