I'm a 25 year old dude. I run and lift weights. My body is in good shape, but my fingers are getting worn down from 8+ hours of daily typing (coding, emails, chat, note taking, etc). Using a computer becomes more of a burden when I'm using the touchpad on a laptop.<p>I try stretch every finger individually but nothing seems to help. My fingers just feel exhausted and typing becomes unpleasant. Not sure if there's something I can do to remedy this or if I need to seek medical attention.
I switched to one of these at home and work :-<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-gb/p/natural-ergonomic-keyboard-4000" rel="nofollow">https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-gb/p/natural-ergonomic...</a><p>I also custom built my desks to be higher than normal, at 6 foot everything is designed to be compatible with 5'6" and shorter people so I wanted something where the height was neutral position for me sitting or standing <a href="http://imgur.com/a/H7fxb" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/a/H7fxb</a> .<p>Between the keyboard and the new desk all my issues clearer up in about 6 weeks and have stayed cleared up.<p>I hate typing on laptop keyboards tbh, the lack of travel, the fact they force you into a hunched position and typing posture are all wrong.
I had something like this last time, and my wrist starts to get more and more painful everyday.<p>Turns out that I was not typing on the keyboard, but was pounding on it. Later when I change the nature of my keystroke to be more mild, it starts getting better.<p>Not sure if this will be relevant to you, but its worth a try.
