Default my wrist hurts like a motherf***

I tried to search for one of those wrist/glove things to prevent carpal tunnel- but couldn't find it. Then I went on google and couldn't find anything. My wrist is killing me. Anyone have links to where I can buy one of those things? thanks!

You gotta change it up. Try "the stranger" more often and you won't have this problem.

It's when you beat off with your off hand, giving the feeling of someone else doing it :P

which wrist? both?
if it's only one and it's your mousing wrist, try switching hands for a while. also, try switching your mouse to a larger one instead of that crappy standard one that comes with most computers.
when you're mousing, try to move the device with your arm rather than just your fingers/hand/wrist. let the larger muscle groups absorb the stress rather than the smaller, more delicate structures.

is your keyboard propped up (positive tilt)? if so, try flattening it or even having it tilt away from you. This allows your hands to approach the keyboard at a neutral angle.

above all else, take frequent breaks from working (every twenty minutes or so), and do wrist stretches (flexion, extension, etc). pop some advil to control the pain and swelling.
