This is how it worked for me:
I have mild carpal tunnel since I was in high school, in grade 9. And I've only tried to treat it with the doctor after 3 years. I hurt it when I wrote so fast on my exam cuz I wanted to finish it quickly lol.
Actually, I was so afraid that it would hurt when I try to draw so I didn't do anything like drawing, just playing video games a lil' and surfing the net on a laptop (cuz trackpads are more less dangerous than a mouse for the pain)
A friend suggested I go to a physical therapist. The PT told me:
That I should stop doing strenuous activities like surfing for how long on the net. Just 30 minutes then rest for maybe 10 minutes.
I do hand stretches and arm stretches cuz I also have problems with my posture.
And I get rehabs like paraffin wax and a massage on my shoulders.
When you play on your tablet, your eyes should be on the same level as your view on the tablet. So don't look down. Your sleeping position should be that your ass doesn't stick out and that it should be straight.
I totally would like that therapeutic hand gloves for myself! But I guess my hands are okay now after the rehab. Hope this helps. :)
