What is the treatment for wrist pain

[Telstra]

from using a computer mouse ?
I think it is repetitive stress pain ...

No the wrist pain is not from wanking to often.

Hey, could you give me a little more info on your condition?

When did you start getting these pains?

Are these pains only in your wrists? Do they ever spread anywhere else?

When does the pain show up? During work, exercise, etc...

Does anything you do cause them to get worse/better?

Is there any time of the day you notice they get better/worse?

Have you taken anything to alleviate the pain?

How frequently do you get these wrist pains?

Finally, what's your age/weight/height?

If you don't want to post on here, please feel free to PM me. I am a medical student and will try to help you out. No guarantees though...my best suggestion is to see a doctor.

Could just be inflamation, beginnings of carpal tunnel. But heat is usually good, but then ice can be used to, it all depends the syptoms.

When I started getting those types of pain, I had to switch mice.

I only use old logitech track balls. I have one that I've been using daily since the mid 90's. There's no scroll wheel, but I like the three buttons and they've eliminated my wrist pain. I think the later version had one with a scroll wheel, but I'm not sure how the middle button works. I even have one I bring to work to use.

I highly recommend one. Even the newer ones are okay.

I had it for about 2 weeks .. I simply switched hands in that time (use the mouse with the other hand). Then I carefully started using the other hand again and the pain didn't come back.

I had tendinitis in the wrist, I thought from a sports injury. I used an ace bandage every time I was on the computer and the pain went away. Which reminds me, where is that bandage?

Another rehash!

I use computers/desks daily and heres my remedies. Apart from some nurofen gel to releive the pain.

Get a wrist brace! a softer one that you can use while on the computer, it helps alot. And while you are there, get a nice warm water bottle and rest your wrist-in-brace ontop of it.

Worked a charm for me!

A scene from Dr House's episode came to my mind.

...an old patient bugs House: "My right hand hurts when I sleep on it accidentally at night, what should I do?".
House: "Don't sleep on it"


Seriously, wrist pain can have a lot of causes, you should know better while it hurts. and if you cannot find an explanation you should see doctor

That would do the trick.
I think it is a repetitive stress. Move the wrist in the opposite direction and do what you said helps.
