  • I don’t know what I would call these. I have pretty generic wrist braces I bought online. I swap it up because they can become irritating in their own way after a while. Basically covers everything but the fingers and thumb and have metal pieces to prevent movement. I wear them at night and parts of the day depending on what I’m doing. I’ve been considering getting some wraps for when I don’t want something super clunky on me.

    Yeah pedals might be a new purchase for me. It’s my mouse hand that really sucks. I had a NCS done showing carpal tunnel in both hands, but my mouse hand literally lost all feeling in it at one point. Just straight up couldnt move it.The other hand just tingles a lot. Since my surgery I haven’t had a recurrence of that level of numbness, but it still sucks a lot worse than my other hand.

    So anyway, I want to get a couple of pedals I can use to mimic left click and right click.




  • Had carpal tunnel surgery last year and have kind of been hoping and crossing my fingers that it would finally relieve me of my symptoms, but as I’m nearing the year mark I think I’m coming to terms that this might be the best it gets for me. I can still use my hand mostly, but depending on the task it starts to go tingly and numb and I can’t feel it. There’s more they can try to do but I can’t even get an appointment right now because I haven’t finished paying off my medical debt with the place that did it.

    But I think deciding to accept it is helping me turn a new leaf. I’m going to start saving for some new controller stuff so I can start gaming like I used to at one point. It will be a while until I can afford it, but I’m excited to try again.
