Wrist Pain
seven: Had a wrist infection caused by intense bmx riding. Only thing that could fix it was to force myself to let it rest. Rest all the time, no exception.And a somewhat ugly experience.
After my first big project I had a visible 'bubble' (size of a big coin) beneath my skin at my wrist. As every idiot would do, I ignored it. It did not disappear after some weeks and I went to see the doctor: 'We need to cut that open!' .. so.. as a good coward would do, I assured the doc that I would come back.. and stayed home.Now comes the ugly part: After living with my bubble for several more weeks, I made a certain movement... and this bubble thing cracked inside my wrist and I felt the fluid rushing into my arm. I paniced a bit.. but I am still alive and my wrist is fine. No pain at all, btw.I told a friend about my experience. He took me to my office, asked me to show my 'programming position'. Then he told me the same stuff your doctor told you. (I guess.) And he was right.I would suggest that you pay more attention to your body. I know it from myself, that sometimes you really want to make that last test case pass, before paying attention to the pain in your back. This is not good.I do most programming on a big sofa, where I can easily change position. When forced to work in an office I never use the keyboard sitting on the desk. I find it much more comfortable to let it rest on my lap.General rule: If you do not feel comfortable, change it.More advice:
Never write tec on a german keyboard.
:)Take this serious and try to see another doctor.Hope you get better soon.
