    Limp Wrists

    I have been suffering from sore wrists. No, they aren't sore from massive masturbation! It's almost like arthritis. They ache and I have no strength at all. I can hardly lift a glass to drink. It's affecting my job.

    I don't think it's carpal tunnel syndrome because my hands are fine. I'm afraid it may be from my new laptop. It sits higher than the old one. I've been trying not to use it to see if my wrists feel better. I guess they are slightly better.

    I did a job in one of the malls yesterday and had a freaky thing happen that I'm not sure has to do with my wrists. I was carrying my tools and when I went to set them down, my index finger would not bend. It didn't hurt. It just wouldn't bend. Finally, it just snapped into place. Weird, huh?

    ~~ an aside ~~ I Googled limp wrist looking for images and was barraged by gay sites like this. I had forgotten that limp wrists had, at one time symbolized a gay man. (Now I will receive hits because I put the words gay man on this page.)

    I just hate anything that is limp!

    I hope they get better sweetie. Try a wrist band.

    I posted new at the same time you were hitting me. Come back!

    Seriously, a couple friends of mine have to wear wrist bands. They say they help alot.

    Limp is bad for anything except noodles.

    I'll give the wrist bands some thought. I just don't wanna look like an invalid.

    I want to party, but I can't because of my house guest. Maybe I should just hide some absolut in my clothes hamper.

    obviously, you do need to do more stroking, and with both hands, to build those muscles ... I'm sure Mr. Sign will appreciate! heh

    Sign, something else you may want to consider. They do make wrist rests that you can place in front of the keyboard. This might help relieve the stress in your wrists. I have one at work and sometimes it anoys me but other times it is comforting to have it in place.

    I wonder if you could just roll up a towel (maybe with something it it if it is not big enough) to see if a wrist rest makes any difference for you.

    Hey good luck.

    Jenn, you could try plugging an external keyboard in and see if that alleviates the problem.

    We have to keep you in tip top shape for blogging, we can't afford to loose you.

    Oh, I hope your wrists start to feel better!!!!

    Too funny.

    It still could be carpel tunnel syndrome, even if your fingers don't hurt. But the one finger locking up sounds like osteoarthritis.

    Psst, I think good ol' Sal may be stuck on masturbation. He did it twice. LMAO

    GASP! You said, "gay". ahhhhhhhhhhhh ha ha ha!

    I used to have to tape mine with medical tape when I was writing a lot.

    My two index fingers get numb sometimes which is a weird thing. But that mostly happens when I masturbate too much.
