Have your wrist in neutral position. Use a wrist pad. And brace.

I have a spot on my thumb and index finger worn so smooth it hurts all the time.

Might be your mouse. Try an ergonomic mouse

Make sure your forearms are going down instead of being parallel or god forbid, up. I also recommend a vertical mouse for the time being. Or if you’re swimming in it, an Mx master

Try this. Sit in a chair and rest your hands on your thighs comfortably. Try to find the most optimal hand placement where you experience zero strain. Where is your thumb? It should be facing towards you going up. Then think of your palm placement when you use your computer mouse. Where is your thumb now? Definitely not up I’d imagine.

Add that with the forearm being in an unnatural position/angle for long periods of time and you have a recipe for disaster.

I’ve been trying to figure out dosage and medication over the past month and wanted some insight from people who may have more experience with diff doses. I started with 5mg Adderall for 2 weeks but it stopped being effective around the 4-5th day. I switched to 10 mg for a week and it was good but a bit up and down, so switched to Vyvanse 30 mg for a week, which was too strong. I’m now on 15 mg Adderall, but it feels like I can’t concentrate and I’m scattered. Question in comments:

I feel that as a SC I can still learn more as a cheaper resource and get put on a greater variety of jobs. Is this valid or should I push for promotion?
