well......if you don't start vomiting blood (j/k)......
i would stretch it out, if it is muscular. stretch just until you feel it and hold the stretch. DONT bounce or ease in and out of it. gently stretch.
if it is more from a disk, lay on your side in the fetal position, knees as close to your chest as you can get.
good luck. hate to see anyone have to back out of a shopping trip for ANY reason.

There's a handful of us on here
I'm in Pocatello. I think there are a bunch around Mountain Home.
I agree with you - I satisfy a handful....sm
And all of them are VERY happy with the quality and consistency of my work.....
If we remember, 20 years ago, the AAMT BOS was 90 pages long.....and lots incorrect. Today's BOS is 600 pages long......can you think BIG_BUSINESS *ROFL*
It's ibuprofen, I'm pretty sure. nm

Ibuprofen, 3 tabs every 4 to 6 sm
hours with food, faithfully for a few days. You may need a short oral steroid pack to calm things down. Cranky Beach is right about keeping your wrists absolutely straight. Try raising your chair or sitting on a big book. Use a chair without arm rests. The problem most likely is in your elbow or shoulder and not just your wrist. I spent a lot of time with neurologists, orthopedists, and physical therapy. I finally went to a chiropractor who did a few manipulations and taught me some stretching exercises which helped a lot. I go once a month and lay on a nice heated roller bed. I have bad insurance and the chiro. just charges me a flat rate. My sympathies go out to you.
Is it ibuprofen or acetaminophen that can cause elevated BP?
I take ibuprofen usually on a daily basis
although really should not. I have this in the bilateral wrists so it cannot be just the mouse use alone. A certain movement with the wrists elicits such excruciating pain, you probably know though. Am glad not doing anything real serious, like brain surgery or the like, when this pain hits.
Gentle stretching and ibuprofen initially,
then as it gets bearable, take up walking AT LEAST twice a week. Walk at a good speed with good posture, about 2 miles/45 minutes. The most logical way to keep a back working right when you sit in a chair all day is to walk regularly.
I'm 44, and thankfully all I get are muscle aches. At times there will be actual point tenderness in one of those (2) little dimples on your sacrum, you know, right in that area where a lot of tattoos are put? If you get that, you can massage that spot. It indicates a muscular problem, which is good, and it means you are too tight and need more exercise and especially stretching. The most important direction to stretch (since we are curled up in a C position so much of the day) is exercises that arch the back, so learn safe and effective stretches for that direction. What trainers are saying about stretching lately is stretch after exercise, not so much before, and hold each stretch longer. There are some muscles that don't even engage in the stretch until you've held it 30 seconds. I think piriformis is an important stretch.
It's very relaxing and restorative to stretch the right way.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
