Maizie: Anyone else get sore wrists and hands after an hour or so on the computer? This has (had) been a big problem for me for quite a while. Assuming it is carpal tunnel or just a repetitive strain injury. Anyway, I used this wrap I found on the internet and it helped. No more pain for me :) I am just so happy to be on again with no constraints to how long I could. Wanted to share the info as I am assuming this is quite common (?). It was called BFST. Anyone else try it?
I've got a decent wrap/bandage, but since I got myself this I don't need really it anymore.
Back then in 2012 when I was still in my martial arts club and we trained wrestling with sword (shortest range) in addition to the massive strain on my wrists at work (workshop) and my PC time, I've gotten constant pain in my right wrist.
This made me get a mousepad with a gel cushion for the wrist and the problem faded away. :)
I'm still using it right now.

If you’re on a desktop, you could place broken glass in the areas your wrists drop. The constant threat of being stabbed is sure to hone your wrist muscles to Shaolin Monk levels. Alternatively there are memory foam wrist-supports for the keyboard and mouse which elevate the wrist into a more natural position.

I get sore wrists, but it has nothing to do with using computers.

Zeeaire: I've also had a sore wrist but I didn't pay attention to its agony and just kept playing.
Nowadays I think my wrist is more resistant than the feed of a hobbit :D
It's all about the persistence.
Bad suggestion! Usually persisting worsen the problem a lot.
Maybe you had another temporary issue.

I actually once sliced my wrist just from using my mouse. Without noticing. I was just sitting at my computer when my girlfriend suddenly said "hey, your entire forearm is covered in blood". I lifted my arm, looked at it and said "bullshit". She told me to turn it around and I went AAAAARGH. There was actually blood all the way from the wrist to the elbow. Only then I noticed the bloody trail on the edge of my desk. Apparently I had cut my wrist on it which is interesting in that my desk doesn't really have sharp edges.

Anyway, sore wrists: no.

Now that's what I call a feat.

I can't help but think that this is some kind of vague-sounding spam. OP apparently works in the field and this seems to be the only thing they've ever showed up to talk about.

Whether an object/edge is too sharp depends on the speed you're moving something against or alongside it. Bullets are blunt too.
What was it you obviously played so excessively in high speed, that you cut yourself on a blunt edge and didn't notice immediately even after being told?
Starcraft? Quake 3 leaderboard?

It must have been a hell of a game!

Lol. Sadly I do not remember. Frankly I'm almost positive that it actually happened while working or editing a wiki or something. Maybe I'm the fastest wiki editor of all time.

Actually, with rare exception (usually among the famous), it affects only the English.

Nice find, Sherlock.

This post is definitely an advertisement.
