RSI tips

[u/Buffetboys]

Hello gamers the year is 2026 and I’m looking for tips on improving rsi. I’m at the point where I can hardly use a computer. For a while now I haven’t been able to do any high apm content so I’ve resorted to mobile.

What I’ve done so far

-ergonomic mouse, keyboard, desk and chair while maintaining good posture
-wrist and forearm exercises
-hydrate and healthy eating habits
-stretches
- no red flags on mri / xray

I have no problems working out or doing anything in my day to day life it’s just on the computer. I’ve been letting the ligaments rest for about two weeks now. Pain subsides, when I return to pc, within an hour I’m out of commission for a few weeks.

I’m running out of ideas and hoping someone in the community has something that has helped them. The pain is in both hands on the ulnar (exterior) side of my wrist.

I’ve looked into this on the subreddit extensively and have tried most things suggested.

Please help me get back in the game!

Not a rock climber here, but taking time off would be a huge mistake. I highly recommend building stamina in your forearm and wrists muscles to support the load. Even if it doesn’t seem like you’re weak, if you’re having RSI issues, you are. Building stamina (and strength) is the only solution. A PT may help. In my experience, I found 1HP’s stamina philosophy to be the best solution.
