Tightness, Pain In Hands And Fingers Due To Excessive Typing, Writing. Treatment?
Hello, I am a college student and a few nights ago I was typing and writing a lot for homework, and suddenly my hand and fingers started feeling tight and hurting. So I figured it must be because I was doing it a lot, so I stopped and now a few days later I am still sore and hurt especially when typing or writing or using my right hand. I was wonder why this could be?

excessive use of keyboard can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. but relax it does not develop so quickly. it must be a fatigue. the common causes are wrongly positioned fingers. be wary next time search images for appropriate position of hands. simple massage with mustard oil or mahanarayana taila will be beneficial for you. it may need oral painkillers for which u may consult a doctor.
