Nerve damage is serious business kids! If you feel it coming on, you need to pay attention and take action. Don't wait until you start randomly feeling needle stabs all day like I did while in the middle of a year long, high pressure, large code volume project. Doc told me to get surgery. I cured it myself the hard way instead. Huge inconvenience for many months. Very happy with that decision today. Here's what worked for me: * Two keyboards and two mice. One set on my desk. The other keyboard on my lap and the other mouse on a pedestal at my side. I would switch up which keyboard/mouse I was using every 10 minutes or so. * Typing like I couldn't move my hands. Literally letting them hang limp and moving my arms a lot. * Stretches and massage before, during, after typing. This "Essential Hand Stretches for Guitarists" video helped me a lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSrfB7JIzxY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSrfB7JIzxY * Pay attention. Take breaks. Notice what feels bad. Notice when you need to change up what you are doing --probably many times an hour. Take off your watch/rings. Watch out for resting your forearm/wrist on anything.
