Tips for building with carpal tunnel

Hello! Recently, I’ve gotten into building again, but I’ve encountered an issue. That being, my
carpal tunnel causing building to be exceedingly challenging for more than a few minutes.

I purchased an ergonomic mouse which did help to some degree but not as much as I had hoped. Beyond that I’m not sure what else I can do. Any advice is appreciated, thank you. : )

Get a wrist splint on both wrists then try to move your arm rather than your wrist to reposition it on the keyboard or move the mouse (this is what I do, but I only have early symptoms of carpel tunnel).

If it’s really that bad you should go check the doctor and rest for a few weeks to a few months depending on severity.

dang that sucks, i play tennis, piano, and a lot of fps so i fear i am going down that path very soon

i know this is a super general tip, but take plenty of breaks. don’t try to brute through pain to finish something up. just take a quick minute until you’re ready to continue!
