Last night I was sitting at my computer and noticed my left wrist was experiencing moderate pain. It was a very noticeable ache on my joint, sort of like I had fallen forward and had used my hand to catch my fall. Anyway, I started thinking about my day to see if anything had happened that could be causing this, i drew a blank. I just shrugged it off at this point and figured I must have done something I didn't remember that was causing my discomfort. Thats when I reached for my vape, felt an increase in pain, and everything started to make sense.
I should mention that i'm a very heavy vaper (like many of you who are reading this i'm sure
) . I sit at a computer for 8 hours a day for work, and I always have my vape in my left hand. I'd be surprised if there's ever a 5 minute period during my work day where I don't take at least a couple hits. I have been vaping for approxiamtely 18 months and i'm starting to wonder if this is whats causing the pain in my hand. We all know you have to make a weird claw-like gesture with your hand to take a hit so maybe doing that 100's of times a day isn't good?
To be clear, i'm not here to tell you vaping is bad, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there were any solutions. I went to bed last night expecting my wrist to feel fine when I woke up but unfortunately the pain is still there. I've been trying to vape with my right hand but my work requires me to use my right hand for my computer mouse so i've still had to use my left hand to vape for the most part. Coincidentally I have a doctor's appointment on Monday so if it's still hurting by then i'll be sure to ask him to take a look at it.
