![Tomight [2 Pack] Elbow Brace, Tennis Elbow Brace with Compression Pad for Both Men and Women](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51guynTOqYL.jpg)
try gaming with a wrist brace, this changed my life:

Last year a buddy and I took a 1300 mile trip around Colorado /r/dualsport ride on a Husqvarna 701 and a Yamaha WR250R. Here's a photo of the gear from last year.
This year we are adding one person (riding a monster, brand new, KTM 1090 Adventure R) to the crew and moving a little farther west to see some of the amazing sites in Utah. I put together a 1500 mile route, and will tack on White Rim Trail (if we can get passes) and wander around in Beef Basin for a bit.
A few of my friends have started using Polar Steps, so I've setup a trip and will try to keep it updated. I also maintain a simple website and will post photos on my flickr account.
Now, on to the fun, because sorting out gear and packing is half the fun of a /r/motocamping trip.
I'm involved in volunteer search and rescue (/r/searchandrescue) so a lot of this gear comes from my callout pack and extended incident command packs. The more experienced riders will notice that I'm lacking any tools, spares, tube slime, etc. I'm fortunate enough to be riding with 2 other riders that are packing all that jazz.
Two mottos:
motorcycle
navigation
photgraphy
medical and hygiene
wearing
sleeping
inclement weather
food
motorcycle

Also, you may continue to have elbow pain even if you don't lock your elbows. It could be tennis elbow, and it's caused by your tendons rubbing against the bone when you brake and/or shift (if you have brifters). It was a problem for me that was solved by getting one of these, which pushes the muscles and tendons into positions where they don't rub on the bone. Also, an NSAID such as Aleve taken regularly helps, too.
Edit: Excuse my non-parallel sentences in my list. I'm too lazy to correct them.
Not sure if effective, but Aris uses the M-Brace.
If a Tekken player uses it and says it works, I'd believe them with all the Korean Backdashing they have to do.
I believe Knee has wrist straps as well (not the M-Brace), but never looked into them.
Honestly, I'd suggest taking a break. As a fellow sufferer of chronic pain, it's kind of like that joke:
Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I..."
Doctor: "Well you should probably stop doing that."
Especially given the left analog thumb pain, that kind of strain gets worse if you don't give it time to heal. And by "give it time" I mean "as long as it takes." Sorry.
Get yourself a decent thumb/wrist splint. I use this one as needed, and the Mueller brand one is highly rated. Use it, stabilize your thumb and wrist, and give it time to heal. Alternate icing down your hand and wrist, and using a heating pad on the area.
But a different controller isn't the solution here. You need to lay off it. If you must game while injured, take it easy. Play a tablet game, or something a bit more chill on the hands, like a tower defense wave style game, or a turn based JRPG or something.
And make sure your work/programming setup is ergonomic. Proper height with your arms L-braced and resting naturally, shoulders back, top of screen at or near eye level. Don't risk things like tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and RSI over something as paltry as gaming. Your health is more important than that.
I used to get those same symptoms years ago, so I bought this
I just keep it near my computer and put it on whenever I play tagpro. If I play for more than a few hours at a time I still sometimes get tingling, but otherwise the brace has eliminated the problem.
And I still press the keys unreasonably hard to get that extra bit of speed.
If you're seriously considering a wrist brace for gaming, I got two of these because my wrists started hurting after playing fighting games on an arcade stick/hitbox for extended periods of time. M-Brace.
I wore them this past league for the first time and it made a huge difference for me.
It's likely a TFCC tear. Very common for climbing. Link to wrist widget on amazon which includes testing for TFCC tear.
K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple, Stupid. Words to live by!
Gloves. Just your standard Nitrile gloves. I have a box in my closet with about 5 pair in my truck. Although with Texas summers here, I'd bet they've melted together by now. I should really check on that...
Safety Glasses Any brand will do. Just look for ANSI Z87.1. You'll probably never use them, or 90% of what's in your bag, but they're nice to have on hand.
Knife w/seat belt cutter & window punch. This is mine. I keep it on my trucks visor when I'm driving, and on me when I'm not. Cheap and useful. A little big though.
Simple Breathing mask. Always good to have around.
Gauze Rolls & Gauze Pads. I've used these a couple times, all on myself. I have the uncanny ability to fall when running outdoors. It's truly a gift.
Large SAM Splint. Surprisingly I've used two in only a year of building my kit. Once for myself, colles fracture from tripping, and the second time for a friend who slipped in my kitchen. We're not the most coordinated bunch.
And if you're feeling adventuress (sp?), Emergency Blanket, Cold Pack, & a Hot Pack. These aren't necessary, but nice to have if you have some extra $$$ to burn.
This is all i carry in my truck medical wise. It's also a good idea to have a flashlight on your vehicle or in the bag. Don't waste money on anything "fancy". You'll never use them and if you do you'll probably get sued.
I received a pre-stocked jump bag from a family member as a gift for getting my EMT cert. Came with OPA's, C-Collar, Adult/Pedi BVM, & a couple suture kits. These are no-no's. Good Samaritan laws won't protect you if you use these. DON'T BUY/USE THEM WHEN NOT ON A RIG! (The suture kits are another matter...just don't) I took these out of my bag completely.
TL;DR K.I.S.S. Avoid anything a non-EMS person couldn't use.

Anyway, just some suggestions. Hard to get too crazy on a budget. I'm sorry I missed the exchange but I signed up to give someone who gets screwed something so I'm sure I'm gonna help someone out.
Actually, its in the cleaning aisle.
I'm 100% echoing all of this. The summer heat is really starting to get to me now at 31 weeks, and I just can't wait for the cool weather, crunching leaves, comfy layers, and sweet baby cuddles. We have an outdoor fireplace now, and I'm so looking forward to bonfires and listening to the crackling fire without being eaten to death by mosquitoes.
Pregnancy during summer is awful, but the compromise of a fall maternity leave is something to look forward to! And as far as the carpal tunnel, I can help with that! The link below is to a brace I bought about a year ago. My hands both randomly go numb, and I wasn't finding relief from anything. I've had carpal tunnel for a few years now. I came across these braces, and I can't tell you how much they help. It's a significant difference. The only other tips I have are to wear them just tight enough that it won't fall off your hand, and it helps to wear them often. Just at night is enough to reduce the symptoms, though.

Always better to build one yourself.
Here's mine. Might give you some ideas.

Not all of this fits inside the med pouch itself. It's meant for quick access to the critical items.

I've had both carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis over the past year, and I highly recommend seeing your primary doctor or a hand specialist sooner rather than later. In both cases, I was able to get injections which relieved the pain and numbness within a few days. Wearing a brace at night will also help with carpal tunnel; my doctor recommended this brace which is available from Amazon for about $20, and I wear them on both wrists every night. Good luck!
Your rate and times are irrelevant for your first two weeks. After that it escalates on a weekly basis until you hit learning curve 5. AFAIK you’re supposed to be able to do 275 uph with takt time under 12 at the end of week three. Week 4 jumps up to 360 and takt time in 9s. Week 5 is when 400 and 8.5 takt or better matters for pickers in an AR FC. What really matter is your expected productivity percent. Basically that is the number you have to be over 90% of to avoid a write up after second week, and you need to have over 100 if you want to be assigned to secondary support roles.
As for soreness a few things can help. First and foremost get Powerstep Pinnacle Maxx Full Length Orthotic Shoe Insoles, Burgandy insoles (the red ones) for your shoes. Your feet and subsequently the rest of your body will thank you. Get a pair of SB SOX Compression Knee Brace (I use a pair old of socks with the toes cut out) and use a Solimo (Amazon cheap brand) knee brace because together they will save your knees wear and tear. Also get the Mueller wrap around elbow braces, which will help save you a lot of pain and suffering now and years down the road. Get a lifting belt/brace/back support and use it every other shift. Staying hydrated isn’t enough as a picker. Get yourself a 32 oz Insulated Kleen Kanteen. Fill it one quarter to one third with ice and use a combination of Cytomax drink powder at two scoops to one scoop of Bodybuilding.com Signature BCAA and bring three premixed containers of powder mix in the right ratios.Rubbermaid makes small plastic containers that I use, so you can refill the kanteen at each break. I keep a spare mix container in a mesh bag with a cliff bar or an apple and some small hard candies, which I attach via carabiner to my water-bottle going in and out that during work is attached to fence directly above water bottle holder. This drink will keep you hydrated, fueled, maintain electrolytes, and provide amino acids to prevent excessive muscular breakdown. Make sure you eat a tons of protein at each meal, including packing healthy lunches with lots of protein and possibly even include a protein shake/smoothies in an insulated container for lunchtime. Nutrition is key to fast recovery from the intense physical MMA prep workout they put us through.
Don’t be afraid to take restroom breaks right smack in the middle of your quarters, seriously. With regards to pod gaps, tote conveyor jams, and other issues out of a picker’s control it is helpful to keep a small notebook to log those things down and show it to your PA/AM/OpsM to have your time adjusted for those issues, which then adjusts your expected productivity percentage.
Ideally you want to stay right around 95% productivity by the time week 4 ends and you’re transfer eligible. If you do too good, then greedy af bonus hungry AMs will do everything possible to keep you as a picker. One woman I know has been a picker at my FC for two years. She hits 600. UPH with TAKT times that are in the 3/s-5/s range no problem, and she has been stuck picking and not given secondary roles because she is just that good at the job.
You may want to also look into SAM splints, they’re pretty cheap and can be formed to be useful for essentially any splinting situation. I would also recommend getting triangle bandages, they could help you cut weight as they can be used for a tourniquet, a sling, makeshift traction device (for femur fractures), combined w/ SAM splint a makeshift C-Collar... the list goes on and on! I’m sure there are YouTube videos for teaching some of those skills! That being said, look into an Outdoor Emergency Care or Wilderness First Responder course if you really wanna up your game!

Yeah, if you're old. I'm 30. Still into it. I recommend getting some wrist braces and sleeping in them - does wonders for me. I love these mueller ones, and they are cheap. Better than the ones my doc gave me.
Try not to white-knuckle the controller and everything you touch in the world. Amazingly, breath of the wild on the switch really helped me loosen up my grip a lot.
Your sticks should "pop" up about 2mm on the stickbox shaft if you pull them up - pull them up and try to play without pressing them down. that'll help a bit to keep awareness of your grip, but do it training, not against a player.
It started a month ago. I don't have any major pain. Maybe a burning sensation, but mainly just tingling on my thumb, index, middle finger, and part of the palm. The doctor told me it was overuse syndrome, and gave me wrist splint to wear while I worked. I asked if it could be carpal tunnel, and she said no because of lack of pain. I'm kind of skeptical of the diagnosis because symptoms seem to match exactly from what I read online. Pain isn't a necessary condition. I only had pain like in the couple days before the numbness started. (I thought my hand was just sore) The first couple weeks while working the numbness/tingling was pretty apparent. It got especially bad while sleeping like you. Writing and playing guitar also activated it. I've since taken a couple weeks off work though (I could do that because I'm working with temp agencies right now), and it has improved dramatically . The tingling is only slight now and the extreme numbness no longer activates while sleeping. I'm really hoping it goes away. This shit is so discouraging to get early in my career. I'm worried getting back to work will undo the progress.
Also, one of these helped a lot when I first got the symptons. It prevents my wrist and fingers from curling while I sleep.

I am amazed at how many of us old farts have elbow issues. It's not something you commonly hear about and yet it's a real common topic on here and obviously lots of people have the issues.
There is no quick healing on elbow injuries. I have golfer's elbow (the medial side, aka the inside of the elbow) myself. IT SUCKS. I don't think it never really goes away, but it does become manageable.

It seemed like he wore those on his stream but it looks like he's wearing different ones now I wonder why though... Do you?
Hey, I really hope this gets upvoted, but what you are complaining about is the beginning of carpal tunnel from the vibration. My suggestion (and I’ve had to do this before) is buy these https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Fitted-Wrist-Brace-Medium/dp/B002NLGNW8/ref=lp_13106341_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1550548653&sr=1-4&th=1 or similar ones for each wrist and sleep wearing them every night.
The reason why you have the pain is from sleeping and having your wrists bent so the tendons can’t relax. Trust me on this you will feel better. (Like I said I had the same issue from vibration and the surgeon I went to suggested this)
I will also add that while this will help and ultimately keep you from doing permanent damage this is only a temporary (3ish months) solution. If you keep doing the repetitive action causing this you will do permanent damage and workers comp will not pay for repetitive motion injuries. So start using the wrist braces now.
Besides nursing pillow I'll add this brace for your thumb tendonitis. I ended up with the same and two months in the brace healed it. Mueller Sports Medicine... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YIFA2C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

A pretty cool thing is a SAM splint, which is aluminium sandwiched between foam, and can be versatilely moulded and cut to fit a lot of different positions and have a few different applications.
I like this discussion, I think good stretches and warmups are important to any activity, whether it be yoga, football, or gaming.
On that note, ergonomic positioning and technique is very important to save your limbs over the long haul. Trust me, I got some serious carpal tunnel from my laptop keyboard. To help combat this, I recommend a couple of products to make gaming for comfortable:
Another good practice is to make sure your chair and desk height are high enough to keep your arms level to your input devices.

That's a good idea. Is it the tendon? Occasionally I'll get tendonitis in my thumb/wrist, and this brace is really good for that and helps a lot.

Try a sleeping brace. Soft, not tight so it's nice for sleeping in. Like this one
I got carpal tunnel playing way too much Tekken and Beatmania right before season 3. I wasn't listening to my body and it progressed to this. I won't be able to play for a long time and it maybe in my best interest to quit fighting games in general. Be sure to listen to your body and take preventative steps like with exercising.
Also it's not a bad idea to wear a non intrusive wrist brace to just support your wrist while playing. If you're not convinced, Knee wears wrist braces while playing. Some on told me this is the wrist brace Aris wears and it seems pretty good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PFUPRQ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Wraps should help, however, you may also want to wrap it during sleep (not too tight, don't want to restrict blood flow) or get a wrist brace to keep it aligned. This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002NLGNW8/ I think it's pretty decent.
Need: The Wellgate wrist brace in Right or Left, located on my Comfort and Disability wishlist. Together they are priced out of your cap, so I would prefer the Right before the Left. But in case that one sells out or something, I wanted to list both.
Why: For my RA. I have one for my Right Wrist, but I've had it for so long that the velcro no longer holds well. I don't have any brace for my Left Wrist, but I am right-handed, so the pain is higher on my Right.
Uses: The biggie for me is to be able to work on my crochet for longer. I crochet to keep me busy and help with depression and boredom. It is also good for when I sleep, because I tend to ball up my hands and bend my wrists while I sleep, so I wake up with more pain.
Trying not to be sobby-just realistic! I could use these but if someone has a greater need, go with them. I do have one brace and I can keep using it with hair-ties to keep it tight.
Agree with the carpal tunnel. I've got it in both wrists since about 24 weeks. It started with the painfully numb hands overnight and then my dominant hand has progressed to being numb throughout the day after doing various tasks. Doesn't help that my job is 99% computer data entry.
Anywho, dr said to wear the braces and they help SO much. After a while I've just gotten used to wearing them. I have a sturdy daytime one to use on my dominant hand and a super comfortable cushy (but sturdy) pair to wear at nighttime.This is the nighttime one that I use and its amazing!
I have this one, but I have more issues with the top of my hand as opposed to the thumb. That brace looks like it'll work great for you though. One of the reviewers says it works for her mother's thumb.
I've got tennis elbow (same thing as golf elbow but on the outside of the forearm rather than the inside). Those straps with lump on the inside that you wear just below your elbow (these things) actually work surprisingly well. For pain where you have it you wear it so the lump is pressing down on the muscle on the inside/top of your forearm. The pain you're getting is from tension in that muscle group putting strain on the attachment point to your bone at an angle that wants to pull the muscle away from the bone. The strap keeps that angle more acute to the bone so the force is no trying to pulling the tendon away from the bone and instead parallel to it. It gets sore because that force is causing little tears in the connective tissue, which gets inflamed and cause more tearing.
The thing that sucks about those straps is that for them to work, you have to crank them down pretty tight. This somewhat limits the blood flow and also gets really tight when your forearm muscle flexes. Despite those annoyances, they do work really well. After it stops hurting (because its healed up) you can do forearm exercises to strengthen the muscles and tendons and that should help prevent the tendonitis from returning. It's important to let it heal up all the way first or you'll just do more damage that causes more inflammation that causes more damage and on and on. It's kind of a crappy injury like that in that you often have to stop doing the thing that's causing it for a while so it can have a chance to heal. That's why it's such a persistent injury for golfers and tennis players, they never want to stop playing long enough for it to heal.
Happy Cakeday!
/u/Rustygurl is awesome.
This item would come in very handy.
Thank you very much.
I totally agree with this! I would just carry multiple triangular bandages, as there are so many purposes for them, they are very light, and if OP has a large bag, it can accommodate them. I would completely agree about the splinting, unless you are going to be in very rural or undeveloped areas, in which case I'd through in a SAM splint.
Oh, also I would carry some sort of cutting implement, (NOT FOR TISSUE,) and not necessarily even a knife, maybe just some mini trauma shears. IDK...
Edit: Specific to the rural/wilderness, throw in a space blanket/emergency blanket what have you.
It's probably carpal tunnel. I have it and it sucks. Like everyone said, do stretches. I switched to continental because my right hand is worse so the movement of the left hand is easier, except for moss stitch or ribbing. Try to keep your wrists straight when you knit and hold the knitting closer to your lap. Try not to grip the needles and yarn with a death grip. I bought these for nighttime. They can go on either hand and have really helped me! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005YU8TMC/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_1
I have had the same problem for a few years now. I got it looked at by my doctor a while back and he said it was just the way that my joints formed when I grew and not really a sign of long-term damage. He suggested that I try a tennis elbow brace like this one here. I've been using it for about 3 months and have noticed that my elbow only clicks during the first one or two reps then not at all for the rest of my workout, which is a significant improvement from before.
I always recommend this one for use on the job. A normal glove fits over it easily, and you can slip off the thumb part to wash your hands without taking the whole thing off.
The medical supply store suggested I check out a local rehab/prosthetic/etc specialist for other options, but this one works fine.
Wrist straps?
I had a similar thing. In fact I still feel it now, about 3 to 4 months later.
The short version for me was:
Wrist strengthening exercises didn't really help me I feel. Stretching could be helpful though. I always stretch my wrists a bit before climbing now.
Don't worry, your gonna be fine. Just give it some time and concentrate on other things in the mean time.
Hey! I got the MRI for a suspected tfcc tear as well but it came back negative. That said, my hand specialist still thinks theres a problem with it. It might just be instable without a tear. I recommend doing rice bucket exercise, and also the hammer one helped me I think. You grab a hammer by the handle and rotate it slowly to reinforce your wrist.
Good luck and if you find out its something else please let me know what it is !
I also wear this all the time https://www.amazon.ca/WristWidget-Patented-Adjustable-Triangular-Fibrocartilage/dp/B0056PQV2K
I brought a wrist brace and it is amazing. Like, night and day. https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Fitted-Wrist-Brace-Number/dp/B002NLGNW8
Was looking on amazon for new lifting straps and came across these LINK . You think i can use those for both regular lifting wrist straps to support my wrists instead of picking up velcro ones and use them for deadlifts straps as well or should i also grab these ones as well without the straps for days i need to bench wrist straps without deadliftingstrap . I am wondering if i need both, thinking of saving my cash and only getting the first one and using it for bench and on back days as well.
Braces can be cheaper than that, depending on where you go. I've also been blessed with carpal tunnel in my pregnancy (mine actually started around the beginning of the third trimester too so I've been dealing with it for a bit).
My brace was about $15 at Walmart (this is the one I have). It helps tremendously for me. I have a sedentary job and it does make it difficult to type but I've adjusted to that and the pain is just so much better.
I bought a different one for sleep since that one isn't very comfortable to sleep in (this one for sleep). It doesn't provide nearly as much support but it does keep the wrist straight overnight which helps with the pain in the morning.
I've thankfully only had it in my right hand but I can feel it developing in my left as well now. Hoping that doesn't get too bad and I can hold off on getting more braces since I'm almost done now!
Yes, I have pregnancy carpal tunnel and have since about 18 weeks. I wear a splint to bed every night and it has completely fixed the pain.
I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/Futuro-Night-Wrist-Support-Adjustable/dp/B0057D86QA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1495577012&sr=8-2&keywords=night+splint+carpal+tunnel
Elbow grease spray does wonders.
I highly recommend you get this checked out by a doctor or climbing physio.
I felt this exact sensation of my forearm painlessly "separating" from my hand on several different kinds of holds (slopers, holding myself into an overhung wall using a pinch were the two most notable).
I had already been neglecting some level of wrist pain when twisting my wrist in either direction for a couple of months at that point and even once I started feeling this weird sensation I kept climbing for a few more weeks until the pain became unbearable. Finally got it checked out by a hand specialist and it turned out that I had a torn tfcc and ecu tendon subsheath resulting in ecu tendon subluxation. It took me more than 7 months of no climbing or any other exercise using my wrist until I could climb pain free.
Definitely don't do what I did. Stop climbing/working out until you get it looked at by a professional and hear what they have to say.
edit: if that isn't an option or you don't want to do this for whatever reason you could try using this: https://www.amazon.com/WristWidget-Patented-Adjustable-Triangular-Fibrocartilage/dp/B0056PQV2K/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1WEJNPIV6CTQF&keywords=wrist+widget&qid=1551033906&s=hpc&sprefix=wrist+wi%2Chpc%2C198&sr=1-2
it's what my hand doctor recommended I wear when recovering and it should help with subluxation assuming that's the cause of the separation you're feeling
Have you tried nighttime carpal tunnel braces? I got CTS during my first pregnancy and it never went away. I use these braces and they help SO much. Wearing that at night pretty much eliminated my daytime pain and discomfort.
Here are the braces I used that helped and are not too expensive.If you have an HSA or FSA account you can use those funds to pay for these.
​
As far as your family, ignore them. So many people are not educated about the issues people can have during pregnancy. I remember family being so obnoxious when I was pregnant the first time. I'm pregnant again and people seem to be less obnoxious this time.
I had a very similar issue recently. I started having pain in my right wrist after a night of heavy squat cleans. After that i couldn't do anything that involved being in the front rack position. I also couldn't stay in a handstand pushup or even regular pushup position as that bent my wrist back from my arm in the same sirection. After 2 months of waiting for it to get better on it's own to no avail, I became concerned and went to an orthopedic doctor. She took xrays and confirmed that nothing was broken- it was just a sprain and it would still take a couple of months to completely heal. She suggested I should ice it and wear a wrist brace. (I got this one on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Fitted-Right-Wrist-medium/dp/B002NLGNW8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00) She also recommended that I go to physical therapy 3 times a week. I thought that was a bit much and never ended up going.
Sure enough, it took about 2 months after the doctor visit (4 months after the injury) to be back to 100% and lift regularly again. During that period, whenever there were front squats, thrusters, or press/jerks in the WOD, i would use dumbbells which I could grip without any pain at all.
I am only speaking from my experience. Of course your situation could be completely different. Hopefully its a sprain and you just need to give it some more time, but you should see an orthopedic doctor if possible to see if there's anything more severe going on.
I have the same problem, I was injured during the summer and I used this one https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Medicine-Reversible-Stabilizer-Measure/dp/B004YIFA2C?th=1. Unfortunately I lost it and I re-injured my thumb so I've been taping it again, but I just ordered another one and I can't wait to get it. You should definitely try it.
SOTech Viper. Add a hemostatic gauze like QuikClot if you want.
ITS Tallboy / Fatboy with Molly Stix for quick detach.
You can use straight branches for broken limbs, or add a SAM Splint, but it's pretty bulky. You can also get the 18" versions or cut the 36" down to size.
Plus training. You can't just carry these without knowing how to safely use them.
I have some nerve damage in my left wrist from an accident, so i have a weak left wrist so i wear a brace everytime i play underneath my glove. Doesnt bother me at all.
This is what I use:

Thanks! Bought a WristWidget to try and helpmy wrist, it's arriving today and i'm climbing tonight, will see how it goes!
I wear carpal tunnel braces - I can't recommend enough that you use synthetic ones instead of those cotton ones they sell at CVS. The synthetics both keep the smell down and make them easier to wash.
These - they also come in L/XL are also a lot cheaper than the drug store ones.
Sorry if this is off-topic, wanted to help a fellow carpy out.

I got pretty severe wrist issues around the time when Overwatch was released. After a while, I stopped gaming almost completely and it got better after a few weeks. In the upcoming 6 months or so I still sometimes felt pain after long gaming sessions but even that stopped eventually.
The best cause of action is to stop playing games for a while and if it doesn't get better go to a doctor. This kind of thing is very rarely permanent and will mostly go away on its own or with very little medication.
Don't just google your symptoms and assume stuff like an idiot. Every symptom humanly imaginable is somehow an indicator of a serious medical condition. So don't panic when you read stuff on the internet. An untrained person is simply unable to interpret these symptoms correctly.
You may also want to work on your sitting posture. Hand/Wrist pain is often caused by an unhealthy back position. I also got myself a wrist wrap similar to this one. Helped me a ton to keep my wrist in a stable position and avoid unnecessary movements since it's fairly difficult to keep your wrist motionless during basically any activity.
I had pretty awful carpal tunnel with my last pregnancy (from about 28 weeks on) and wore these braces as much as I could stand them (day and night) and they helped. I also found that the carpal tunnel persisted about a week after I delivered, also (I know that's not what you want to hear - sorry!!) - it really didn't go away until all of my swelling subsided. On the bright side, just because you have it with one pregnancy, it doesn't guarantee it for future times - I'm 32 weeks with my second and so far so good!
I bought [this thumb brace](http://www.Mueller.com/ Sports Medicine Reversible Thumb Stabilizer, Black, Measure Around Wrist- Fits 5.5 - 10.5 Inches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YIFA2C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_IzkTzbX7SYC9Y) for this reason.
Doesn't even have to be neoprene if you don't need something watertight. I quite like these because they are more comfortable than the neoprene ones I had before - and they have a piece of metal inside for better wrist support.
Looks great! I am just starting out and was surprised at how much I had to control my "shake" when I am really concentrating on hitting those hard-to-reach or finer details. I am trying a few things here and there to mitigate that. Any thoughts on wrist braces or something of the like to control unwanted movement or would that be too restrictive?
Time to invest in some wrist wraps. I just ordered these yesterday actually. http://www.amazon.com/Schiek-Sports-Ultimate-Wrist-Supports/dp/B001183UJ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452276272&sr=8-2&keywords=schiek+wrist+wrap

I don't have carpal tunnel, but I've dealt with tendonitis in my wrist off and on over the past ten years. I'm so sorry you're going through this - it's miserable and affects so many everyday things!
For sleeping, if you can isolate your wrist so that it remains in a neutral position and not bent funny or curled under, that can help a lot. The easiest way to do this is with a splint, which you might even be able to find at a pharmacy.
For the daytime, I'd suggest using kinesiology tape to support your wrist/hand/forearm but still be flexible. There are several youtube videos that show where to apply the tape for carpal tunnel.
aside from all the bras, pen parts for my wacom for some reason all the shops locally like best buy and office depot, only carry supplies for the bamboo and can order the new intuos4/5 but wont order me the intuos3 parts.. and i'm on my last nib.. i've had this tablet for.. 6 years now plus or minus a few.. and i finally used up the pack that came with it...
elbow pillow splint doctor gave me one on loan until i get one because i did something to my arm and have a pinched nerve or other issue and have two numb fingers with no pain.. i have to wear it at night and this week i have to either buy it from them or return it.. what they want for it is insane.. i guess they assume insurance is gonna buy it.
wrist support wrap to help with the same issue as above when i'm not sleeping.
You need to definitely put some thought into what you would need medically in a survival situation where you can't get to a hospital fast.
For example:
Quikclot to stop excessive bleeding until you can get medical help.
Sam Splint in case of a broken arm or leg.
If you break your arm or get a wound deep enough to where your wound won't stop bleeding, it doesn't matter how good you are at casting a net or purifying water.
For carpal? I've been wearing these.

I've been dealing with it for over 3 months. It's the worst when I'm trying to sleep and just after I get up in the morning. Sleeping in wrist braces has helped: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BEECTC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Absolutely. This is the model I ordered, but really any similar style brace will work. I think you can find something similar at most pharmacies too.

If you have wrist issues, get a nice set of wrist wraps (these are great) or tape your wrists. The lifts that are most likely to cause you pain there are front squats, overhead squats, overhead presses and sometimes even bench, but using the supports has prevented my janky wrists from acting up, and they've even gotten better over time since I started lifting, because I've started addressing the shoulder mobility issues that make wrist problems worse.

I love my beat up Mueller brace. I've been using one of these for over 3 years now.
It's flexible, not to bulky and you can hide it "ok" at work if youre worried about that. It cleans up easily and I've worn it for all manner of tasks including during sleep (to keep from pulling my arm up in my sleep, ya know? That ALWAYS fucks me up the next day otherwise).
It's done well but the Velcro is seriously worn now and I really should replace it. It will hold well for at least a year or so but keep in mind it will also hold cat and dog hair lol. For sizing, i'm a normal sized dude at ~160lbs 5'7" approaching 40 soonish, it may fit differently if you're on the larger side of the scale I hear though.
I had some wrist pain when I started poling. An instructor recommended this to help strengthen fingers and forearms and wrists. I also use a brace similar to this one when I need to give my wrists a break and it's helped a lot.
I have these, would they work for this? https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Fitted-Wrist-Brace-Number/dp/B002NLGNW8/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1519170387&sr=1-4&keywords=wrist+brace&dpID=41vKh4vif0L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
There is. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003JSRS9G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DMm4AbR1X1WT9
What did the brace look like? This?
I wouldn't worry so much... They aren't going to make you have surgery, they are just going to tell you to wear a brace, take some advil (with food), and do some carpal tunnel exercises. The brace you have in your post is good, but if its too annoying, take out the metal piece and adjust it to make it more comfortable. If you have to, wear it without the metal piece.
Surgery is for extreme cases. You need to change a few things that you do.
Also, they make wrist rests for night time, but they aren't very comfortable and you can't really wear them during the day:

its not your arm, its your wrist
you gotta have your chair/desk aligned or you'll fuck it up, also get a wrist wrest
if you already fucked up your wrist get this while playing, wear this while gaming

Heh I know what you mean by twisting up like a pretzel in your sleep and waking up in pain. Good to know your friends reminds you.
The wrist brace I use is very similar to you: : bodigrip/tubigrip from chemist warehouse and this
The wellgate one is pretty stiff on the sides (has some metal inserts) and restricts movement while the bodygrip simply applies pressure. Wellgate brace comes with 2 velcro adjustable straps as well :) I find it annoying to wear while doing things as it feels unnatural.
I definitely have De Quervain's tenosynovitis (mommy wrist/thumb), so I got this one and when I wear it to bed it helps me out a lot. I'll still get a flare up now and then, but overall it is tons better.
I had it bad this spring so I was using [THIS] (https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Adjustable-Elbow-Support-Black/dp/B0027VMV16/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1469026744&sr=8-1&keywords=elbow+mueller). Mine is mostly healed now, but it worked wonders while it was flaring up.
In a mass casualty situation, I would completely ignore anyone that needed CPR and focus on the bleeders. The time you spend giving one person CPR could be used stabilizing a dozen people who are bleeding.
For extremities, the most useful thing is a tourniquet. I prefer one with a windlass like a [CAT] (https://www.amazon.com/C--Combat-Application-Tourniquet-GENERATION/dp/B018R73OWI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623443&sr=8-1&keywords=gen+7+cat+tourniquet) or [SOFTT] (https://www.amazon.com/Tac-Med-Solutions-SOFTT-W-Tourniquet/dp/B00E3W3BK2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623620&sr=8-2&keywords=sof-t) over a [TK4] (https://www.amazon.com/H-Associates-TK4-Tourniquet/dp/B003YHGKF0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623679&sr=8-1&keywords=tk4+tourniquet) or [SWAT] (https://www.amazon.com/SWAT-T-Tourniquet-Black-1-Count/dp/B003IWNOVO/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623735&sr=8-2&keywords=swat+tourniquet).
For injuries to the abdomen, armpit, crotch, or neck; you will want a homeostatic agent. [Combat Gauze] (https://www.amazon.com/QuickClot-Combat-Gauze-Z-Fold/dp/B001E1CLTC/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468623859&sr=8-1&keywords=combat+gauze) is the way to go here, it is much better than powdered QuickClot.
For penetrating chest trauma (also called 'sucking chest wounds'), you need a large, occlusive bandage on both the entry and exit. In clinical testing of chest seals, the [Halo] (https://www.amazon.com/Progressive-Medical-Performance-Occlusive-Dressing/dp/B003VSORKC/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468624256&sr=8-3&keywords=chest+seal) and [Hyfin] (https://www.amazon.com/North-American-Rescue-Hyfin-Chest/dp/B00KQS2NGK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468624483&sr=8-1&keywords=hyfin) drastically outperformed the [Asherman] (https://www.amazon.com/Rusch-Inc-849100-Asherman-Chest/dp/B0015TE9N4/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468624546&sr=8-2&keywords=asherman+chest+seal).
I also personally have a [decompression needle] (http://www.rescue-essentials.com/h-h-needle-decompression-kit-tpak/) to treat tension pneumothorax, but I advise you not to get it unless you have specific training on it.
For general bleeding the [Israeli bandage] (https://www.amazon.com/Israeli-Bandage-Shipped-Israel-Inches/dp/B00JKMPJBY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468625201&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=israeli+bandage&psc=1) is way better than other bandages.
You will also want an [NPA] (https://www.amazon.com/Nasopharyngeal-Airway-Fr-9-3mm-Surgilube/dp/B003950R2E/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468625347&sr=8-1&keywords=nasal+pharyngeal+airway) to help keep an open airway.
Edit, I forgot that you are also going to want a good pair of [trauma shears] (https://www.amazon.com/Madison-Supply-Premium-Fluoride-Scissors/dp/B00YFG1U86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468625730&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=trauma+shears&psc=1).
Some other things to consider are rubber gloves, [Kerlix] (https://www.amazon.com/Original-Kerlix-Sterile-Bandage-Rolls/dp/B00UAULWR0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468626013&sr=8-1&keywords=kerlix), [cravats] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HBG726G/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AR9BYY7RS0Q08), [medical tape] (https://www.amazon.com/Durapore-Medical-Tape-Silk-yards/dp/B000C4O7GC/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468626363&sr=1-2&keywords=medical+tape), a [SAM splint] (https://www.amazon.com/SAM-Rolled-Splint-Orange-Blue/dp/B001J5H92C/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468626238&sr=1-1&keywords=sam+splint), and a [space blanket] (https://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Mylar-Blankets-84-52/dp/B004356WLY/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468626282&sr=1-1&keywords=space+blanket).
I've drafted a pattern for a sleeve to fit inside a wrist brace and I'm wondering which way to align it on the grain. I'm thinking I should align the grain with the direction the sleeve will be worn (front to back, fingers to mid-arm), but I'm not sure. Also, these are going to see a lot of use, so I'm wonder whether a normal zigzag stitch will be sturdy enough. Thanks in advance.
I've been using this after my old one started to fall apart and works pretty well imo. It'll take some getting used to as it will force your wrist in a certain position. Note you have to be consistent and it'll take weeks for you feel a difference. You can wear it throughout the day if you can make it work. I also recommend doing some wrist strengthening exercises like wrist curls with light (2-5lb) dumbbells. You want to make sure your wrist maintains strength as using the brace means you will be using less strength in the general area

First, a lot of people do bicep curl incorrectly. So you might want to check your form on that. Aside from that, you could simply have some inflammation in your wrists. I have arthritis in my left wrist - I think it's from playing hockey as a kid, that's when it started bothering me. So whenever I do pressing movements (or even heavy squats), my wrist bothers me. I bought a pair of Schiek support and my wrists don't bother me:

Also, I would disagree with Cogniphile on it being difficult to have the form wrong on curls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoqFTDYOz_o
buy wrist braces and you'll be able to do most things without injuring your wrists further. I install security cameras for a living and I healed just fine while working by using a wrist brace. I went from not being able to do a push up to full strength in a month by protecting my wrist from further damage. This is what I bought, just to give you an example.

So its most likely a flexor tendonitis. Usually what I do for people is to put them in a wrist support brace like here. What this does is rest the flexors. Generally around 2 weeks in this at all times except showering and maybe at night. Problem is you are likely re aggravating it without realizing. Complete rest for a couple of weeks should help it out in addition to the steroids your doctor gave you.
As a programmer I got the same thing, mine was more of a RSI. I still have it but it's manageable. Here's what I did:
-vertical mouse (https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical/dp/B00BIFNTMC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467206570&sr=8-2&keywords=vertical+mouse)
-wrist brace, wear at night also (https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Fitted-Wrist-Brace-Medium/dp/B0027VGB4Y/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1467206596&sr=8-1&keywords=muller+wrist)
-make sure ergonomics of my desk/monitor/mouse were correct. Also, went to a standing desk
-breaks for stretching
-deep tissue massage
-ice my arms- bucket of water with ice
Last I made a stainless steel deep tissue massage tool. I found that while I was at my desk I could work my hands and arms a little to loosen them up.
I had pain in my wrists when I started out. It's gone now but this is what I did to fix it:
That pretty much cleared it up, but I didn't have any serious pain or anything. Just the early onset of something nasty. Definitely take care of it now before it gets bad.
Even cheaper is to buy something called a Sam splint. Basically the exact same thing but meant for splinting bones.
It's the strange irony that the medical version of this device cost 1/3 what the auto version costs.

Yep very similar to that. It went a little bit further up my palm though, like this https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Medicine-Reversible-Stabilizer-Measure/dp/B004YIFA2C/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1487081213&sr=1-4&keywords=thumb%2Bbrace&th=1
About 2 years ago I had CT in my non-bowling wrist. Funny enough, at the time, I bought a new phone and because of the shape and how I held it, I developed CT. I got the wrist support that stabilizes your thumb. Similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/Thumb-Splint-Wrist-Brace-Immobilizer/dp/B07DXM7Y2F
Saw the doctor, took some anti-inflammatory and it luckily went away shortly after.
The past 2 months, my bowling arm wrist has developed CT. This one isn't as painful and it actually does not hurt while in the motion of bowling. It does hurt other times, a lot.
I can't bowl with that wrist support that stabilizes your thumb. I went looking around and found this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PFUPRQ2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I cannot say this is the answer, I am still using it, but the pain has slowly gone away and I do feel support when I bowl. Its difficult to 'recommend', but it seems to be helping.
i used these at night for a long time: http://www.amazon.com/Brownmed-Imak-Pil-O-Splint-Adjustable-Pound/dp/B0007A0DAA
Mine wore out eventually, but they may be too hot for winter time and pregnancy.
I also like the generic ones sold at walgreens the best because they don't get too hot.
I bought these Schiek Wrist Wraps and I couldn't be happier with them. The price is affordable and the quality is the best I have owned. I would highly recommend these!

Stretch your neck and shoulders. Exercise more, sit less, stand with good posture. Wear wrist splints whenever possible, including during sleep.
And go see a doctor, before the pain forces you to stop playing forever. Seriously.
Sorry to hear, I also have carpal tunnel and it's a bitch. I went through a few and ended up with this one on amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Mueller-Sports-Medicine-Green-Fitted/dp/B003BEECTC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542485976&sr=8-1&keywords=mueller+wrist+brace
Are you ever waking up with a wrist sharply bent in the middle of the night? If so you might also consider an additional brace for sleeping in.. They make ones that totally prevent you from bending your wrist in your sleep.
With palm facing up, left side of forearm just below the joint? Do this and wear one of these during practice until the discomfort is gone.
I had carpal tunnel before I got pregnant, and thankfully it hasn't gotten worse. My suggestion is to wear wrist splints when you sleep. I get woken up easily (with tingling or pain) if I bend my wrists in my sleep.
I love these ones because they are lightweight and not too hot for summer: https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Fitted-Wrist-Brace-Number/dp/B002NLGNW8/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1500397081&sr=8-1&keywords=mueller%2Bgreen%2Bwrist%2Bbrace&th=1.
I have those as well (though knuckle pain is only occasional)... in my case the wrist and elbow pain are interrelated at this point (though they started out as individual injuries). Bracing both at once has been better than just one.
A good brace for tennis elbow really helped - apparently they diminish load on the tendon by dispersing it. The kind I have has two gel silicone pads, one that goes right on the tendon, the other exactly opposite. (Other elbow braces just squeezed the whole forearm without targeting the pressure on the tendon). This is it (MediSpec Epigel Tennis Elbow Brace). Some people report having skin reactions but I suspect they are not washing it (I started getting irritation too, then washed it).
I've found decent wrist braces easier to find. This one's my favourite (Wellgate for Women PerfectFit Wrist Support).
Wearing both of those, 24/7, for a month, has really helped with pain. I think because the tendons are just experiencing less stress and reinjury and have had time to heal.
Shoulder - this just takes a long time to heal, at least that's been my experience and is what I was told by my PT (literature agrees). I haven't found a good solution other than staying out of the pain range, and just changing how I do things a bit so my shoulder works less. (Eg holding things close to the body, sweeping or mopping in small movements... just not extending it too far out - definitely avoiding subluxation, which is hard because it happens all the time.) When pain is less bad, I try to do PT exercises, but am too sore for that now.
For knuckles, I've not had to use braces yet. Just have intermittent pain. I've been using aids in the kitchen (eg jar openers) and trying different ways of handling things (eg if opening a jar, holding the lid with the sore hand and using the other hand to grip and twist the actual jar. If cutting, positioning myself so the shoulder works less, using a sharp knife, etc).
Sorry it took me so long! I'm normally a phone redditor. Here we go,

So cheap for what you get. These ones have some kind of beads in the pad of your hand part, so they're great if you're on the computer a ton. And they don't get in the way of you using keys or the mouse. I really can't recommend them enough. I was scared I was going to have to have surgery or something drastic, nope! I love these things.
I have these and I love them

Oh I do to even after trying to change for the past couple years. I get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome alot nowadays. When it flares up like it seems it is starting to in you, I have a wrist brace I wear until the pain subsides.
The braces also helps so u can train yourself better.

I think these ones might be good with a remote: https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Fitted-Wrist-Brace-Number/dp/B002NLGNW8/
I got this and wore it day and night for about 5 days until I was pain free.

Now when carrying baby and stuff i try and keep my wrist straight, I was keeping it crooked while tensing my arm muscles which is was pinching my tendon.
Yeah, I've been wearing this while I sleep, and during work at a computer.wearing this
If you want something to support a broken limb, check out a Sam Splint. Super light and compact, and great in a pinch to keep a flappy arm a little more stable.
hey guys:

I wear these , this will hide you are a wristcel. I'm not one, I feel like they are thin till i do see a wristcel. But wear these and cover them up and they make you look like a power ranger.
Also nice conversation piece with bros and chicks.
Try this: https://www.amazon.com/Tomight-Elbow-Brace-Tennis-Compression/dp/B01M0F5IA4/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=golf+elbow+support&psc=1&qid=1571901478&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-8
For Tennis Elbow you wear the fat compression part on the outside of your forearm just below your elbow. For Golf Elbow you wear the fat compression part on the inside of your forearm just below your elbow. It supports the tendon that is strained or starting to tear. It gave me immediate relief. I play 250 rounds/year and have not had to miss a day using this device.
There is something similar for feet, but I'm not sure if that's what we have. I have trouble walking when I get up to run to the bathroom for a while because it's painful.
These are my wrist guards:
https://www.amazon.com/Wellgate-Women-PerfectFit-Wrist-Support/dp/B000GHG3RG/
Your local drug store or supermarket will probably have something.
I go through about 2 of these a year. I still use the old rounded Mac mouse, not the Magic Mouse. I get more shoulder and neck pain but the glove helped that a lot.
Also, do push-ups. This strengthens your wrists, arms, shoulders and neck. Serious, this worked for me. But I still use the glove for cushion and comfort.
So happy that you are happy! I would really love this wrist brace because my ulnar nerve is compressed which usually isn't too bad- just numbness and tingling in my fingers. But lately this week my whole forearm and wrist have been burning and it makes it so hard to take notes and do my schoolwork. I really think this would improve my problem and make life so much easier! THANK YOU

Do yourself a favor and buy a night brace on Amazon, I had to do it a few weeks ago as I was experiencing extremely similar pains. The brace will help put your hand/rest in a neutral position while you sleep. Your hand might feel stiff the first night or two but it passes. Make sure to do wrist/hand exercises now too! Rests and breaks are key!

FYI I've noticed my hands going numb in my sleep so I ordered these on Amazon and they are amazingly comfortable.

It says they're for women, but they fit my hands perfectly. order a size up if you have large hands.
I have bad carpal tunnel, so a wrist brace would do me a lot of good. It's on "Uncategorized" list.
I wear a wrist brace at night and try to not sleep on my hands if I can help it.

I've used these for a while now when I sleep. It's definitely helped my wrist issues.
There was a point where I ran into wrist pain when I was playing FGs on a stick religiously. You are best off taking steps to prevent before it becomes a problem. Easiest answer would be to take intermittent breaks, and do wrist exercises, but if you are really worried (like I was), you might be interested in also picking up a computer glove. Started wearing one when I played online or training mode, and it stopped hurting after awhile. As with everything, problems won't emerge if you don't do it in excess.
Also, as a bit of a disclaimer, I ain't no doctor, so this isn't a professional opinion.

No affiliation. Not the exact model I have, as mine are old. Pretty much the same thing though. They work! No worries. If they don't work, you might need an operation. I know people who have had the carpal tunnel operation and all were helped by it
Sounds like you are describing "climber's elbow". Take it easy until your tendons get stronger. Also consider using a "tennis elbow" brace while doing pull ups to lessen the pain.
Here is the mobile version of your link
I'm a programmer by day, and enjoy pc gaming. I regularly do some of the wrist exercises noted by Darkstrategy. I also switched to an ergonomic keyboard and trackball at work (not home), and started putting on a wrist splint when I slept. This is the wrist splint I use. All of these combined have definitely lessened my day-to-day pain. If I spend a particularly long session in front of my PC it still sometimes bothers me, but it's made a big difference.
Overall though, you definitely need to pay attention to your ergonomics. Stop slouching, space everything correctly, etc. Takes a while to build new habits, but it's worth it.

This started happening to me a week ago after all these years of playing. Personally it's because I got a new mouse and it's too big for my hands. This glove is like magic
What kind of wrist brace? I used to have carpal tunnel so I starting wearing one of those braces. After researching my symptoms more it seems like a thumb stabilizer is what I need. This one arrives today.

I keep one of these at my desk. I love it.
I have struggled with wrist issues for awhile and this helped alleviate it along with better posture
I'm a software developer and gamer. Had all sorts of wrist issues and hand going numb\asleep. I bought one of these and don't have any issues anymore while wearing it. Just make sure you order the right size as I wasn't paying attention and accidentally ordered the small the first time.

I use this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005BI6J8I/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1421791864&sr=8-3&dpPl=1&dpID=41RJeKogg9L&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SX200_QL40
I also use KT tape, but towards the end of class it just gets too sweaty/grabbed too many times to stay on.
I use this brace and it has helped me immensely!! I was having a lot of numbness in my index and middle fingers, and the pain over night prevented me from opening my water bottle. Since I started wearing that brace, less numbness and pain! And the brace is pretty comfortable too.

Do you mean just something like this or am I way off?
You should try this out; it's done wonders for me since I'm constantly working/gaming on the comp.
I started experiencing some Ulnar pain on Friday night. It didn't get better on Saturday, so I haven't played mouse-intensive games since Saturday.
I bought a wrist brace from Amazon (1-day shipping, got it on Sunday) and I've been wearing it as much as I can. It feels a little better today, and it might be better in the next 1-2 days.
Maybe take a break from wrist-intensive gaming and try wearing this a few hours a day until your pain gets better:

Inzer or Schiek, but using them often will wear out the velcro. Schiek makes these alternative wrist wraps (similar to their straps, minus the actual strap) that would last longer if you use them on a daily basis (http://www.amazon.com/Schiek-Sports-Ultimate-Wrist-Supports/dp/B001183UJ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408041230&sr=8-2&keywords=schiek+wrist+wraps).
Tennis elbow (tendinitis). Had the exact same thing. Eventually started effecting all my lifts, not just curls. Pick you up one of these. My pain went away in a couple weeks. I now don't lift without it.
