Frankly, my concern about younger generations switching to exclusively using smartphones for digital communication has less to do with computer literacy and more to do with the demonstrably harmful ergonomics of the smartphone form factor. I have an inkling that we're about to see a massive generational wave of RSI-related chronic disabilities as folks blow out every nerve and tendon from their elbows down by the time they're 25 trying to type on a touchscreen the size of a playing card.

to anyone who draws and experiences wrist pain like I do i. I figured out the blindspot to solving the pain. maybe this is obvious but whatever. im honestly I'm frustrated at myself for not knowing sooner bcs I was an athlete for so long. but what always confused and frustrated me was that no matter how much i stretched the pain wasnt going away

people always linked n shared resources to stretches and it'd give me temporary relief but not deal with the issue especially not any longer than the time it took me to stretch.

u do have to stretch. but u ALSO HAVE TO WORK OUT YOUR ARMS.

the reason we are hurting so much is because that muscle is doing a lot of repetitive and strenuous motion but the whole length of your arms and wrists aren't strong enough to withstand that much work.

u cant just stretch. buy a set of light-ish weights and just pick a set of wrist and arm workouts u like. do them often. stretch and do those work outs. i really dont even think it matters which you do I do a combination of this and this

just pick ones u like that are good for you, working out can be fun and not miserable i promise. do it. save ur wrists. my life has changed, i still feel pain but ive been able to work and not be ready to cry the next day from daring to try

#wolf txt. #rsi #rsi injuries #if anyone else has tips or favorite workouts share them #like i mentioned i was already an athlete so i am also reverting to some old warm ups i did to help with my back pain too #i played softball #n my thing always was that my arms were weak but my legs did a lot of work #i think i convinced myself that bcs my body wasnt withstanding muscle needed to hit a ball far #trying to push myself to work on my arms too hard was going to create more problems #THE OPPOSITE!! #I JUST NEEDED TO PACE MYSELF N TAKE IT SLOW!! #AAA

Comic #315: That eerie feeling - Website links: Here! I spent a lot of my younger years ignoring and enduring discomfort in my hands/arms from over work. This has come to bite me in the ass REAL HARD in my 30s. So maybe this simple treatment can help some of ya'll out? No matter what you do to overwork your hands: drawing, gaming, working, this should take the edge off the aches!  🐻👍 ❄️🔥

If you experience carpal tunnel or any symptoms of hand pain, lack of circulation, or repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), you need to start wrist exercises.

Luckily, they’re very easy!

Wrist Curls You Can Do Right Now

Find an object you can hold with your fingertips—thinner hardback books are what I use.

Hold your arms straight out in front of you or rest them on your knees with your palms towards the sky.

Let your wrists naturally fall down, then curl them up til your palm is perpendicular to your forearm.

Repeat 5-10 times for 3 sets, with 30secs rest between each set.

Over time, you’ll want to make the objects heavier, but to get started, use anything!

In the beginning, it’s more about doing the actions at all than doing them perfectly.

I'm really annoyed because I want to be writing, but the RSI I have in my wrists is acting up too much. It's painful to type or write with a pen. And I can't even work on visual art instead, because that all hurts my wrists, too.

I've been wanting to make a comic about fibro and cbd forever, but until I can manage that I wanted to share this important info. #covid #fibromyalgia #chronicpain #longcovid If you have questions about CBD oil I'll be happy to answer any questions. It took me a long time to find the right CBD for me. Everyone's biology is different and what works for me may not work for everyone. Don't give up, try different brands as they are often very different. Start low with dosing because CBD has a property where if you take too much for your system, it actually makes fatigue and pain worse. That's why it is NOT a one size fits all type of dosage. (which is really annoying) Good luck and I hope you feel better!

In principle, I know that sleep deprivation aggravates inflammatory conditions, but in practice I'm always genuinely surprised when I get to bed at a reasonable hour and my RSI feels much better the next morning. This may be because I'm stupid.

Hello tumblr.website and/or fellow “people who use the computer too much”

If your right wrist hurts or is starting to tingle even a little bit from computer use you should use a vertical mouse. If you aren’t into them yet, my recommendation is the purex / delux ergonomic mouse.

IMO this is the best ergo mouse because:

- it is FAT and holds your hand in a relaxed position.

- it costs somewhere between $20-$50 depending on where you buy / if you get the wired or wireless version

- it is basically a normal mouse turned sideways so it’s very fast to learn

- they have a sizing chart on amazon which, given that my hand sits exactly between small and medium and this is a small-to-medium mouse, seems to be accurate

- i literally went from shooting pains in 2013 to NO SHOOTING PAINS FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

The CON of this mouse is that the build quality isn’t great. I have been through about 4 of them since I started using them in 2013, and you DO need a mousepad.

NOW. I am absolutely on board with reducing e-waste and buying things in the best quality possible. HOWEVER. If a well built object does not fulfill its intended purpose (reducing strain) it’s just expensive garbage. My almost-identical $120 Logitech mouse (bought to replace the second one of these that died, but it is too oblong and strains my hand after a few hours) lives in a bag with the charger in electronics purgatory, while my Delux mice get to ascend to mouse valhalla after years of daily use eventually the scroll wheel.

If I won the lottery and could buy any mouse I wanted? I would commission someone to make this exact mouse but with better internal components.

I have convinced 5+ coworkers to use this mouse, and I know it has travelled through the grapevine. I work with this mouse, I game with this mouse. I learned how to use it by playing games with it for one night. I am not getting any money for this, I just come from an industry where RSI is a big problem and have found something that mitigated it for me entirely.

I love the delux ergonomic mouse so much, you can get a wired one for like 20 bucks. WELL worth the money.

Flex and Stretch While Sitting

One theory as to why prolonged sitting is harmful to one’s health is that while sitting, the large muscles become relaxed. As these muscles relax they do not take up very much glucose from the blood. As a result, the risk for Type II diabetes becomes increased along with heart disease and some cancers.

Immediately after sitting down, muscle electrical activity and metabolism slow down, as a result less calories are burned. Only 1 calorie per minute is burned while sitting. That is 1/3 of what the body burns when walking.

After a prolonged period of this lifestyle, LDL cholesterol (bad) increases and weight gain occurs.

Sitting can also cause hip flexor and hamstring muscles (back of thigh) to tighten. This may lead to joints and knees becoming stiff and back pain.

As we sit at the computer our shoulders are usually forward and we are hunched over for extended periods of time.  Our bodies are not designed to sit all day.

After just two weeks of sitting, muscles begin to atrophy and oxygen consumption decreases, making it more difficult to climb stairs and walk the longer distances.  Incorrect computer posture habits combined with long-term sitting may cause medical problems such as:  cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) or repetitive stress injury (RSI).

It has also been shown that in women bone mass can drop by 1% after a year of sitting for 6 hours a day.  Reduce these effects of long term sitting; take breaks; switch things up:

Stand every 45 minutes to 1 hour (set alarm or timer). Standing up for 1 – 2 minutes every hour will reduce the negative effects of sitting all day.

March in place for twenty seconds.

Reach down and try to touch your toes for twenty seconds.

Maintain intervals of moderate activity during the day.

Exercises / stretches that can be performed at your desk:

Some day I will find a physical therapist who knows what the fuck they are doing…

#disability #rsi #this one is obsessed with core strength. first thing she said to me was ‘I just wrote a book on core strength and how important it is’ #lady #my problem is my right arm has a ton of chronic injuries #why am I doing bridges and compressing my chronically weak neck #i just wanna scream

Ended up getting a reality check about the whole “if you had wrist strain for weeks you shouldn’t have been knitting through it all” thing.

I really really don’t want to stop knitting though! This is the healthiest mentally I’ve been since I have this to do.

Anche in Italia le spoliazioni di beni di famiglie ebree furono massicce

I territori più ferocemente colpiti dalle spoliazioni di beni della popolazione ebraica furono i Paesi dell’Europa dell’est, la Polonia su tutti, dove si trovavano le comunità più numerose <468. Cittadini polacchi ed ebrei furono sterminati o deportati, mentre le loro proprietà confiscate. I nazisti si impossessarono, così, di molte opere d’arte delle collezioni polacche. Tra queste la collezione…
