Arm Wrist

My wrist/arm hurts after writing, typing or texting for a long time?

I use the computer a lot, text and write on a daily basis. Now, after a few hours my arm or wrist starts to ache to the point where I can’t move it without pain. Why is it doing this??
P.S. It’s only in my right arm/hand because I’m a righty.

There are a lot of small bones and ligaments in your hands and wrist. When you use them excessively you cause stress. One of the most common problems is carpal tunnel syndrome, and that can be quite painful. Suggestion would be to wear a wrist brace or wrap the wrist in an ace bandage when you work, use a wrist pad with your keyboard, if you are using a keyboard that is raised at the back, lower it to make it flat against the table (elevating your hand to type can cause big time stress), take regular breaks from the computer and rest your hands, use ice packs alternating with heating pads to help reduce some of the pain and inflammation. You can also work to strengthen the hand and wrists by doing a bit of physical therapy on yourself. Check out some of the info on the links below:
