This past week or so, my right wrist has become quite painful by the end of the day (and even starting out the past day or two) from typing. I'm a web developer, and the primary income earner in our family, so it's important I continue working for as long as possible.
What I'm wondering is if there is anything I can do to prolong that? Like a wrist brace or something? And what about long-term? Does anyone have experience with Dragon Speak or similar software? Particularly if there are any other developers or programmers with this situation? I have to type a lot of curly braces {} in my work, which I figure might be difficult once I've completely lost functionality in my hands.
I sent an e-mail to the nurse, but haven't heard back yet.
Thanks,
Aaron
