I wonder if a couple of months of strength training wouldn't have been much more effective.
And I mean nothing special here. Just grabbing heavy pieces of iron, lifting them up, putting them down.
- arnvald 5y agoYou're right, it could have been. I didn't really consider it back then, but maybe part of the reason my pain came back was because I stopped going to the gym (due to lockdown)
- chucktingle 5y agoYeah, I brought it up because my wrist pain completely disappeared after I started getting serious about calisthenics. My theory is that having strong wrists and grip makes keyboard and mouse strain a joke. I also believe squats and deadlifts heal back pain faster than the fancy chairs that get shilled on this site too. :)
- iKlsR 5y agoI did that, 4 times a week, lots of curls, deadlifts, etc. Regular exercise, it's a bandaid, you feel really good after a session but wake up the next day and it's back. The underlying issue is the pressure you put on your wrist and the time spent doing so.
