Ask HN: Enduring Repetitive Stress Injury to the hand

1 pointcodyguy1 comment

Hi, Are there any hackers out there who've had repetitive stress injury to the wrists/fingers? How did you work around it? I think I might have early symptoms.

How do you avoid a career threat from RSI/hand injury?

immobilize your wrists with braces (available at the drugstore) overnight and when at rest. Allow the swelling of the carpal tunnels to go down between work sessions.

I carpentered for 30 years without surgery doing this.
