How can I keep my wrists from hurting when typing on the computer?
I work from home on the computer and do a lot of typing. My wrists start to hurt after typing so much.

How can I prevent my wrists from hurting from typing so much?

You might be developing carpal tunnel syndrome. It results from too much typing on the computer and using the computer mouse too much.

You can reduce the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome by using a keyboard wrist mat to rest your wrists on.

You should also take frequent breaks from typing and go do something else if possible.
