Don't End Up Like This, Folks!

This is the ultimate result from too much blogging!

Yes, true... it happened yesterday evening... all of a sudden, my left wrist gave a sharp pain, really sharp, like cutting through my skin. I slowly manoeuvred my wrist to the backward, front, backward and front... and ended up with lots of "ouches!" Pressed it down on the table... BIG OUCH!

cham.. what had happened??? I tried to do some typing, real slow... don't exert any force if can help it... that was why last night I did not do any posts, I ended up surfing with one hand... (still didn't want to give up ma... How to sleep without surfing and chatting, right?)

The pain began to throb during the early dawn... this morning I plastered my wrist with salonpas. Now I put on a ankle band.... (no wrist band ma), applied some Balsem Cap Kaki Tiga lotion and suffer the Hot and Spicy feeling now! kam lak geh....

Anyone experienced such wrist pain lately? Or am i the only one? :(

  10. Are there any signs of swelling? If there are, then you should seek medical help.

    Be careful when typing. Make sure that your wrists are not held in an awkward angle. Must practise ergonomics already.

  11. injured already la. Don't type so fast till it heals. It takes a while, probably 1 week.

  12. Oh oh... Wat happen? I dunno of such pain Claire but I do hope yours will go away ASAP... *hugs*

    ReplyDelete
  13. Take care, don't blog for such long hours. Use something to support your arm when you want to type.

  15. Hi Reanaclaire, do you get numbness in your fingers too??? Maybe a carpel Tunnel problem..I use a mouse pad that has a wrist support to help keep my wrist in the proper position. Take care of yourself ..
    Hugs, Baba

  16. Well Claire, It could be all kinds of things.. Just the posture you use while typing on the computer... It 'could' be Carpel Tunnel--but that usually causes numbness in the fingers, etc... SO--if yours is just a strain, it doesn't sound like Carpel Tunnel.

    I have arthritis in my right thumb--but it is not from using the computer. It's from using that hand for open lids, turn knobs, etc... I am using some anti-inflammatory cream on my thumb... So far, it doesn't help much though.

    Pain is pain.. It's NOT in your head... Go to a doctor and get it checked if you don't feel better soon.

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  17. Mmm.. never felt before... hope it will be ok.. :)

  18. Maybe carpal tunnel syndrome? I had it in my left hand, wake up at night with the sensation like my entire arm was asleep, very, very painful. Also tingling in the fingers. I had CTR surgery (very quick and very painless), now my hand is like new! Have it checked if it is still painful! And I am hoping you are already feeling much better!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. baba: no numbness in fingers, thank God.. just that the wrist is tender and stiff...and pain at certain angles..


    betsy: will give it a week's notice and see how it is going on.. meanwhile blog less :0


    cathJ: yes, hope it gets well. thanks.


    cheryl: hope not cts, i read about it... like all the nerves in knots.. gosh, i better exercise a bit on the left wrist there.. but wrapping it up helps!

  20. Hi Reana, its just a cramp. Your hand did not move much, affected your blood flow.
    Never keep your hand in one position too long, as well do not do overtime in blogging....stretch your hand every once awhile. Walk about, stretch yourself, get your blood circulation going, you'll be fine.

    You stay easy and keep well, Lee.

  31. Maybe you need to go to the doctor, and need some rest from any typing works and that means you will be away from blogging world for a while hehe. I don't know how can you manage. But I understand your pain.

    ReplyDelete
  38. yup... i've pain on my right wrist, and back pain too as a result of typing to much on the keyboard. To alleviate the pain, i'd just do some bending exercise. Even the eyes are affected so I'd get up and do some other stuff or just look outside.
