So after stuffing plushes for the last 6 hours Im having some wrist pain. Im sure the majority of us in the group can relate to wrist strain, carpal tunnel, and tendonitis. Just wanted to share what my usual routine is when this happens to prevent it from getting worse. If anyone has anything they like to do please share. - Mix up what Im working on so Im not doing the same movement repeatedly and wear a compression glove, the goal being to still work but not exasperate the strain. - Start an anti-inflammatory regimen (using ibuprofen) and icing it off and on through the day to reduce the swelling. - Sleep with either a brace or a looser compression glove as I dont really move much in my sleep, the goal is to keep your hand straight and stop it from moving. - Do stretches and exercises to help loosen the tendons, like the ones in the video I linked. - Listen to the wrists, a little bit of pain is normal but dont try to grin and bear it too much. In my case its literal as my wrist will make a small clicking noise when I rub the sides of it at the same time and its swollen.
