Thanks so much! Stay tuned!

Soft splints are even better. But just don't wear splints when you're using your handset work! You can get into lots of trouble. See this video: ruclips.net/video/S58iv-_N_ZE/видео.html

Great idea! I recommend these spring-loaded pliers for ease of use: amzn.to/3ytoHPM. Aprons with pockets hold a lot more than a single pair of pliers and holster. I highly recommend them. Either that or have a separate pair of pliers in the kitchen, bathroom, etc.

Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed.

Thanks for watching! Thanks for appreciating!

@@myersj7747 so good to hear!!!

Hi Chris, you would put your hand in the normal penhold position, angled toward the pinky side.

@DeborahQuilter Ok thank you very much!

That's better than a mouse but I prefer a glide pad centered so that you can use both hands. Angle your hands in a neutral position when you use it. And alternate hands.

Sunny, I’m so pleased this helped you! Thank you for writing.❤️

Devora, there could be many reasons for this, including postural issues or overuse. I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose you, but I do recommend that you see someone with expertise in this area. Best wishes!

Robin, spoons are awkward for this. It's better to use this tool to lift the ring: amzn.to/3Lshkuo. But don't try to pull the lid up with that tool because it doesn't work. Use the Nutcracker and center it so that you get leverage when you pull. If that doesn't work, you probably have to use electric can opener. I know these things are difficult. Let me know how it goes.

Yes!

Truly!

If I can ever figure out Instagram, I'll post it there!

Sorry to hear about your pain, but I cannot guide you in this matter because I'm not a doctor. I can say that you should probably see one if this continues to investigate what's going on. Meantime, take good care of your hands - and maybe think twice about arm wrestling. We do a lot with our hands, and it's best not to subject them to strain.

Truly!

I am so sorry to hear this. But you are not alone. Please sign the petition to end RSI: chng.it/9nCFgFMGt9

@@DeborahQuilter what about muscle spams and throbs those symptoms werent mentioned i saw someweherr its early signs still but i dont know anymore

There are lots of symptoms for RSI. The pain can be throbbing, electrical, shooting, a dull ache. But pain is often the last symptom to show up so take this seriously, stop the offending activity and seek the best medical help you can find. Best wishes!

I am so sorry to hear this. But you are not alone. Please sign the petition to end RSI: chng.it/9nCFgFMGt9 - and tell your friends to sign it, too! The hands they save may be their own.

I understand how difficult it is to have Repetitive Strain Injury. I have it myself. But please don't let it completely destroy your life. One step that you can take on behalf of others is to sign my petition to end RSI - and share it with everyone you know! Prevention is the only cure and the government needs to take action. Please sign here: Https://chng.it/9nCFgFMGt9 and best wishes to you.

One of the biggest misconceptions about RSI is that it's always painful. It isn't. I am not a doctor and can't answer your question, so please find a skillful doctor who can sort this out for you. Meantime, I highly recommend that you never use your thumb to strike a key. It puts the thumb in an awkward position and stresses the joint. When you are making a combination keystroke, it's better to use both hands and avoid using the thumb on the spacebar, and similarly, don't use the pinky on the outer keys. Best plan: dictate.

​@@DeborahQuilterthank you. I appreciate the advice and you clearing up the rsi = pain thing

You're quite welcome! I wish the government would launch a truly useful Educational Campaign about Repetitive Strain Injury. I wrote a petition about this. I would love it if you could sign and share the petition with everyone you know! chng.it/9nCFgFMGt9 People can get devastating injuries - and then very often have a terrible time finding a doctor who knows how to diagnose and treat Repetitive Strain Injury.

Yes, gloves can help. Dr. Markson talks about it here:ruclips.net/video/CCiJp8hzUkU/видео.html

Yes, absolutely, Bonnie! I'm thrilled that you are helping sign language interpreters prevent or cope with Repetitive Strain Injury. May I suggest that you share a couple of other videos with them as well? This one on the risk factors:ruclips.net/video/duCNC8WqcgE/видео.html and this one on warning signs: ruclips.net/video/tLCIYpOu83A/видео.html. I wish I could come to your workshop. I'm sure I would learn a lot! I know that sign language interpreters have a high rate of RSI and they are doing such important work! Please thank them for what they do on my behalf.

@@DeborahQuilter thank you so much!!

I have added them to my list.

You're so welcome, Bonnie!

Thank you so much for helping me spread the word about RSI, Bonnie!

I am so sorry to hear all of this. Unfortunately, most doctors get very little training in the upper extremity in medical school - even though it's a leading cause of occupational disability. I wish your doctor had been able to help you sooner. I am doing everything I can to educate people, including a playlist on my channel that specifically geared toward "What Doctors Need to Know." I also started a petition to end RSI so that the government will at the very least initiate a massive public education campaign. The link is here:chng.it/9nCFgFMGt9. Please read, sign and tell your friends to do that, too. Thanks.

@@kby234 great idea!

@@Spookyy24 I love this trick and I'm so grateful Andrew shared it with me!

Have you seen this one ruclips.net/user/shortskC_Z3p5A0zA ? If you angle the Nutcracker the right way, you can get the lid off. Let me know how it goes.

I could not agree with you more!

You're welcome!

Thank you so much! The best thing is not to have back pain in the first place! And our society forces us into chairs all the time. But while sitting is bad, standing is not the opposite of sitting: ruclips.net/video/-A6TOx7882M/видео.html Coming soon you will see my recommendation for a chair that actually keeps you fit - and helps prevent back pain.♥

I'm sorry to hear all this, John. I hope you find a physician who can help you understand the tremor. Best wishes, Deborah

@@DeborahQuilter I hate Drs. I won’t bother with it. It’s likely from the flare up and resulting strain on my muscles.

That depends on what stage you are in. A skilled and knowledgeable physician can help you with that question. But avoiding the offending activity will definitely help you. Be careful with your hands no matter what you're doing with them, Iglesia. Avoid strain and overuse.

Glad to hear that PT helped you to strengthen your core! Truly the key to low back comfort...

@@curlycathy412 so sweet of you to say that!
