My hand and arm are killing me.

Does anyone use a special mouse or wear a brace or etc.to help/prevent the turk pain? I'd be so grateful for suggestions. I have a wrist rest, but that isn't cutting it anymore and neither are stretches and exercises.
I have some cheap wrist braces I bought at walmart, when my wrists act up I wear those for a couple hours/days and it seems to help. I think themildone @themildone had a fancy mouse she was recommended the other day but I don't remember what it was called.

Thank you!Do you happen to remember the brand you got by any chance? They've got a ton.

I believe it was a Vertical Mouse, of which there are many brands, etc...but they all have the same principle at work - they keep your hand from laying flat which is what can cause a lot of issues for people (it makes your shoulder move in odd ways, research it if you want to know more though!)
