The pain is fucking killing me.
Anyone on here ever get Carpal Tunnel? I have googled some techniques but nothing seems to help so far. Anyone have any tips? I know most of you guys spend a shitload of time working.

I'm not sure if I have carpal tunnel or just tennis elbow or both, I don't have "pain" per se, but I can always feel my arm. Here's what helps me.
When I feel it flaring up a bit, I move my mouse to the left side of my keyboard. This means I can't do certain things (gaming for example, playing chess, etc) but I can get my work done pretty well with this.
Keyboard shortcuts, especially shift-tab to move back a field, big help. Pgdn instead of scrolling.
Marijuana.
Even better than MJ is icing your arm. When it flares up, I have a shallow plastic tub that I can fit my forearm into flat. I fill it with cold water, empty a few ice cube trays and plastic ice packs into it, and dip my arm for 10-15 seconds, 6-10 times in an hour. That really helps. Keep a towel beside it to easily dry your arm off. It's really soothing.
