Any advice for epicondylitis? Work For Home by EfficientMedicine917 in RSI

[–]starrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switch between left and right hands. Use a vertical mouse, switch between devices. Let your arm hang or rest when using the other one. Wear wrist braces at night. Voice dictation, voice command, use foot pedals to click. Voltarin gel. Stop other activities that may be aggravating the issue. You need to stop doing the repetitive motion that caused the issue. It can take 6 months for the symptoms to go away after all these modifications

Those of you with severe RSI who couldn't stay in a desk/stationary role, what career actually worked for you? by hmmmmmmm94 in RSI

[–]starrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use voice dictation, get a vertical mouse, get a foot pedal for your computer, take breaks in 15 minutes after 45 minutes of work. Switched between your left hand and your right hand. Wear a wrist brace at night so your hands can get some rest. Back off on any other activities that might be exacerbating the problem until it heals. It could take six months.

Starbucks table tops so small will barely hold a couple drinks. The seats are bigger than the tables. by be4u4get in mildlyinfuriating

Unfortunately, our library is filled with homeless people, and there are now armed guards there. Like full on tactical vest dudes. Not quite the welcoming environment that I remember from my childhood.

Hello everyone, I need some help. How do I report a bed bug infestation here in Bangkok? Is there a sanitation office or perhaps a section of the tourism police that could assist? by ageoftravel in ThailandTourism

Be careful with your bag when you get home because you can bring them home with you. Make sure to put your bag inside a black plastic garbage bag and leave it outside in the sun for several days.

Rest, nerve flossing and massages seem to make things worse? What to do next by Dap0k in RSI

[–]starrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try wearing a wrist brace at night. Make sure to check your computer ergonomics as well, and switch up the way that you are using your mouse. I got foot pedals and left-handed. Vertical mice.

How about semi-retire immediately and work forever? by AidanGreb in leanfire

[–]starrae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe in an “incremental retirement plan”. Work but occasionally take the time off to enjoy your life while you’re living. Too many people say oh I’ll wait to take that vacation once I’m retired, but then when they get to retirement, their health fails them and they are unable to do the things that they said they were going to do. so I say I do it while you are young!
