1. Introduction While remarkably common in modern office environments, a persistent dull ache in the forearms after typing is not a normal physiological state; it indicates the early stages of a repetitive strain injury. This discomfort stems from muscular fatigue, microtrauma to the extensor and flexor tendons, and fascial restriction caused by thousands of small, … Read more

Introduction To relieve wrist pain from repetitive strain immediately, one must completely cease the offending activity and apply a rigid wrist splint to immobilize the joint in a neutral position. Combining this mechanical rest with localized cold therapy reduces acute tissue inflammation and blunts the hyperactive pain receptors. If the repetitive strain has irritated … Read more
