Default Re: Wrist pain

Repetitive wrist pain is generally caused by excessive flexion/extension of the fingers and the wrist, but in your case it is the flexors. Be sure to stretch your fingers and wrist about every hour that you are on the computer. 10 secs x 5 is enough.

It's important to stretch it out, because if your wrist/finger flexors are tight they can cause impingement to the median nerve that runs together with your flexors under the carpal tunnel. If it gets bad enough you might require surgery to relieve that pressure off that nerve.
