In the conversation, I remembered that I had carpal tunnel syndrome. I wrote about what I did and how I managed to avoid it.
Here’s what helped me: I switched to a keyboard with light key presses, completely abandoned Ctrl and switched to Caps Lock. I also started using two mice in different positions. People often say that ergonomic mice are great, but even ergonomic ones were causing me hand pain, so switching was the way to go. I stopped using trackpads (they’re actually very non-ergonomic). Taking breaks, even during simple tasks. In general, after about six months, I started to see improvements, and within a year, everything was fine. Occasionally, my hands still hurt when I type on my phone, but overall, everything is great.
Just to clarify, the diagnosis wasn’t self-diagnosed; I was recommended surgery, but I chose not to go through with it. I have no regrets.
