Some people try to eliminate their computer use for a period of time, only to find that when they start using a computer again, their pain flares up once more. People wear wrist braces, stand up while using the computer, or resort to surgery or massage therapy. Many of these options have side effects, are expensive, and/or do not actually solve the problem or allow the person to compute in comfort.
On the other hand, there are situations in which treating the symptoms is the only viable course of action. For example, if you are allergic to pollen, you can either temporarily suppress the symptoms using allergy medicine or try something more extreme, such as staying indoors or wearing an astronaut suit. Most people just take allergy medicine. In general, I advocate being proactive, or at least reactive, to your pain and gradually making improvements to your work environment and habits that are aligned with becoming a computer athlete until you are able to use a computer in comfort.
Most of the effort required to become a computer athlete must be exerted by the individual. For example, it’s possible to have the right equipment but still use it improperly and develop an injury. In fact, most of the things that contribute to computer-related injury are directly within your control. You can control the way you react to stress, the amount of sleep you get, and the amount and quality of food and water you consume, among other things.
