I'm scared I will get / already have RSI :(

Hey everyone,

thanks for clicking on this entry.

The earliest I can remember using a Computer are from when I was five years old.

My whole computer journey will be in another entry.

In 2019 or 2020 I saw a video from OSfirsttimer on YouTube, who explained something about RSI. I didn't click off the video in time and in the end he said "the risks of getting RSI are higher when knowing about it." Thanks man.

So fast forward to current time, or better like four months ago.

I started having a little pain in the wrist from time to time.

And ever since then I'm noticing after long, continuos sessions on a computer (two hours maybe), my wrist hurts.

This pain can last a few hours or even a day or two. At the end of the day when I'm still expieriencing this pain (which is not always) I'm laying in my bed and watching some TV (also not always) but when I'm able to, I always put heat on it using a "Grain pillow" or as it's called in German, a "Körnerkissen". You can look up the definition on Google if you want.

(It's mostly my right wrist which hurts btw.)

And now I'm scard that I might have or am developing RSI. Maybe I'm gonna consult a doctor about it.

Thanks for reading!

I appreciate any advice that you can give me! Just write a comment :D
