Any suggestions of what I can use to minimize wrist pain? Syrup pumps are murder, especially the mocha

My right wrist has been killing me for the past three weeks, so I feel you. I’ve been using a cream for arthritis pain and it’s helped immensely.

Thank you! I'll check out the pharmacy

I get these carpal tunnel braces on Amazon that come in a pack of 2 for $15, they’re called “sparthos wrist support sleeves”. I’ve been wearing one to work most days for the past two years and they really help. They’re also entirely cloth so they’re machine washable which is super helpful considering how sticky we get on bar.

Thank you! Hopefully they'll let me wear it and not deam it a health and safety hazard

Yeah it’s definitely something that I take off when the health inspectors show up lol but thankfully my SM & DM have never had a problem with it since it seems to be the only non-medication thing that helps with pain I have due to the job. Sometimes I even take it off while I’m on bar if its really busy & I feel like I can’t be sanitary with it on, but even just wearing it throughout the rest of my shift while I’m on other positions will stop me from having pain while on bar. I hope it works out for you! I know how much this pain sucks.

I always tried to pump using shoulder motion instead of wrist motion

I need to keep that in mind. I'm terrible at keeping good form 😭
