Principal suspect
Tendenitis is an inflammation of the tendons (not just the hands). There can be many forms and causes, so in any case, with pain in the area of the joints, you should consult a doctor. But an interesting point is that one of the scenarios of the development of the disease is associated with a constant mechanical effect on the tendons and can occur as a professional disease in pianists, dispatchers, tailors, tennis players, computer scientists.
Additional suspect. Apple Magic mouse is extremely convenient on the web due to the touch surface, but due to the low profile it is extremely inconvenient in tasks of long cursor positioning (okay, just in computer games)
The treatment is primarily conservative: limiting joint mobility, anti-inflammatory drugs (sometimes it’s normal paracetamol, I was prescribed nimesil) and ointments / plasters, B vitamins. They can also prescribe physiotherapy - I was prescribed magnetotherapy and shock wave tolerance (UVT). I will dwell a little on UVT. The first two sessions were incredibly painful. The sensation is such that nails are driven into the wrist. Then it got better.
Since the tests did not show any crime (a blood test for the rheumatoid factor is normal, etc.), the doctor first suggested changing my working low mouse to trackball or something as vertical as possible. A more vertical manipulator is extremely problematic to work exclusively with a brush. The hand moves completely, the hand and forearm act together. This effectively eliminates the use of the wrist when working on a computer.
And then it turned out that among the “normal” brands I didn’t have the manipulator I needed (it was several years ago). And I'm not ready to switch to trackball, although sometimes I have met rave reviews from users of such devices.
In ordinary stores, with the seeming variety of choices, there really is nothing to choose
Microsoft and Logitech are humpbacked but not upright. There was some pretty exotic Logitech presenter who met the requirements of the ToR, but did not want to pay that much money. As a result, on the great Aliexpress I found the Chinese Delux mice, which are for 1000 r. solved my problem.
Now they have a wider range, wireless models have been added. For several years at work, I used just such a vertical mouse for a stationary PC. But recently I was given a wonderful HP laptop, which the Chinese mouse categorically refused to work with (frankly, a so-so laptop).
Now on the Internet you can really find a variety of options
For the home computer, instead of the Magic mouse, I chose Logitech MX Master 2. There have been no relapses with the wrist so far, so I hope this is a sufficient compromise between ergonomics and verticality. I recently read that in the Logitech lineup a vertical mouse still appeared - MX Vertical.
I’m unlikely to take such a mouse for work. Suddenly it turned out that with a laptop I absolutely can’t use wireless mice - at field meetings I just get up from the table, close the laptop, put it in my backpack and leave. In this not cunning way, I already irrevocably left two mice.
After all these events, I drew attention to the tire on the hand of "a man who has no life." Here it is - it’s not without reason! True, you can probably use such a thing only for prevention (I do not know how effective it is). In all publications about tendonitis it is written that various compression dressings are not effective for the treatment itself.
