I had literally the exact same experience as your first two paragraphs. Where my experience diverged is when I met a doctor of some kind who explained that it's the same kind of pain that truckers often get for resting their arms on the armrests. Turns out it was because I was resting my arms on the keyboard or the desk between me and the keyboard. Stopped doing that, the pain went away completely within a few days, and hasn't come back since. That was like 4 years ago. Just don't rest your arms on anything, that's the trick.
- kzzy 7y agoVery helpful information, going to try this out, thanks!
- ericmcer 7y agoThat makes a lot of sense, the best cure for my wrist pain I found was deep massage on certain places in my forearms. Thinking back the area I hit most often was the point where my forearms lay on the armrests.
- joshontheweb 7y agoInteresting. Could you be more specific about where your pain was located? Was it in you arms or wrists?
- sdegutis 7y agoAnywhere from my pinky to my elbow, depending on the day and hour. Sometimes connecting them in a straight line.
- synthmeat 7y agoThis helped me too. It was combination of desk edge and sleeping on the hand that was causing it. Started sleeping on back or the other side and resting full forearm on desk (so not on edge; at least pressure's distributed) or the actual proper posture (not resting forearm anywhere), and it went away fairly soon.
