Forearms for me. Best advice I can give for young guns is start preventative breaks/stretches/exercises now. I saw it coming and pushed myself over the edge anyway. I've gotten to a pretty good place with a kinesis keyboard (the cheaper split one ) and some custom foot pedals for Ctrl/Alt/Shift, but have never been the same as before.
Also, lift weights. Squats/deadlifts/bench press. Hasn't helped my arms much but been a game changer for back and neck pain.
- LouisSayers 2y agoHave you tried a rice bucket? I had some upper forearm pain (likely from pullups, but perhaps coding as well) for around 6 months last year, and after a long break from pullups and trying the rice bucket it seems that the pain has subsided. Could be worth a try anyway! https://www.reddit.com/r/kettlebell/comments/1759tyo/elbow_tendonitis_and_the_magic_of_rice_bucket/ https://www.reddit.com/r/kettlebell/comments/1759tyo/elbow_t...
- genewitch 2y agoThanks for this; my neighbor had a stroke and has numbness in his left forearm and hand.. I loaned him my gyroscopic wrist/grip thing, but I'll go tomorrow and have him look at this. He's a small engine mechanic so full motion and sensation is ideal.
