I've had similar symptoms since college, and they continually worsened for a long time while I ignored them. After a few years of trying different solutions and doctors, I've found a satisfactory set of treatments. The only Orthopaedic doctor with impactful advice happened to have a daughter with the same issue. Loose ligaments required stabilizer muscles to work overtime. Her solution: supported strength training exercises to build up the larger muscles so they can compensate. For the next 6 months, I worked out 5 times a week, and the symptoms practically disappeared. I was able to work 8 hours at my computer with very little strain - compared to just 30 minutes at the start. The symptoms returned about a month after falling out of the routine. Other treatments that helped: Ergonomics - I use the Logitech ergonomic keyboard and vertical mouse. These have been great. I avoid using the mouse as much as possible, and use keyboard shortcuts + vimium browser extension to navigate. Compression Gloves - Just like the author, I also found that long sleeves help somewhat. But not nearly as much as the cheap, fingerless compression gloves I get off Amazon. Between these and the ergonomic peripherals, my symptoms are generally under control, so I struggle to find motivation to continue my workouts. Relaxing Muscles - When using a phone or game remote, support your wrist (and perhaps elbow) on a pillow. Avoid tightening your muscles - this is tricky when playing intense games. Stop doom scrolling. YMMV, I am not a doctor, these subjects are complicated and actively researched
