Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

If it is really bad, go see a doctor. I had carpel tunnel release surgery and was back at work in a couple of days. They will likely recommend some physical therapy or other affordances before surgery. The most important thing is to have the condition documented by a doctor in case you need to take off time or get some additional office equipment.

I had that problem years ago. I wore a wrist brace all day and also slept in it. It helped a lot. Now I use a track ball mouse on the thumb and I no longer have pain.

Cut out dairy - that causes inflammation. Hopefully the relief will give you a few more years before you also need to cut out meat.

Agree with the comment above. Go see a doctor. There is a simple surgery to fix the issue.

Ergonomics are so vital. If you’re in a pain state, setting a timer every hour to do a back of hand stretch and bring more blood flow in is helpful. Early in my career, I had carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms because I was so clenching the mouse, but I moved to a stylus pen, and that helped a lot. And the *essential* massage therapist will work up the arm, even into the shoulder to help with blood flow. Start with stretching regularly, and massage.
