No fancy OP this time because I am running on E! I'm definitely not a couple of days late! This week's person of interest is you, dear reader. Tell this fat frog lady all about your lovely selves this week. Tell me what makes you laugh and what brings you joy in this hell on earth we call home.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
"Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Can I ask what kind of brace/wrap situation you work with? I don't... well I don't think I have carpal tunnel. However my hands do that too. I have been having some good success with ace wrapps. However I really only know how to use them boxing style. I did also get a racing pedal set up so I can have a few keybinds that are easier to hit.
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.
Do they provide compression or support or both? Sounds like they are for support. I have been using compression so we might be trying diffrent methodology. A little USB one with two pedals ought to be cheap and easy off your preferred online retailer
Uhh both I guess. Mostly support, less compression though.
