Wrist Pain
Wrist pain is mostly caused due to the wrist being in prolonged extension. Once you have aggravated the area, even with changing your position it can take a few weeks to calm your symptoms down.Simple steps you can take to help with wrist pain:
- Make sure your desk-based assessment is up to date for your current situation. If you have pain you may need to change the way you are sitting or working at your desk space.
- Make sure the tabs on the back of your keyboard are down so it is as flat as possible.
- Try using a wrist rest with your keyboard.
- Try using a different type of mouse (such as an upright or penguin mouse).
- Try using some ice for no more than 15 minutes, making sure you place a towel or piece of fabric between the ice and your skin.
- Change your position regularly. You should move away from your desk every 20 minutes.
- Try these simple exercises below.
