Avoiding Carpol Tunnel Syndrome

    I perform a lot of activities with my hands. Sketching, painting and typing. Sometimes that gets to be too much and my wrists start to hurt. I've learned to take a break because if I continue my wrists get seriously injured and that can take three weeks to heal.

    There are ways to get around this while still typing. You can setup voice recognition software but I often stick an unsharpened pencil perpendicular in my brace so the end is caught on the strap between my index finger and thumb. With the other end I can peck the keyboard without any strain to my wrists. There's a life hack for you. I'm such an addict to my computer and this allows me to continue using it.
