Was it over was it a nutritional deficiency or was it overworking my joints?

I decided to shy away from the computer for 2-4 days because my wrists were starting to hurt from typing all the time. Today I went to a buffet to eat since we got discount coupons in the male and after consuming beef, shrimp, chicken, fish, clams and crab legs, my wrists have for the most part stopped hurting. It makes me think my body may have been missing protein. Maybe it had nothing to do with me over working my wrists through exercise / repetition etc...

I've had the same problem about 5 years ago. The doctor told me it's cold a "mouse arm".
It's the joints in the writs that inflamate. The scientific word is "tendinitis". You get some fluid around the inflammation and it's very painful.
I had to treat it with balsam, use my left hand to handle my mouse and put ice on it several times a day. It went away in a day or 4.

Neither. It's likely poor ergonomics. You probably have you seat situated too low and your wrist is probably bent back the whole time you're on the computer.

Easy fix is to buy pads for your wrist and bringing your chair higher to elevate your arms more during desk work.

I think is more of a nutritional issue than an overtraining issue.

When u posted the question about your diet... u didn't have any protein sources listed outside of your sandwich.

Protein should be the #1 focus of your diet, followed by veggies / fruits.

Yes sometimes lack in nutrition of certain vitamins
can make our bodies hurt, ache, feel sore, yes i believe it can

How much time are you spending for excercise?

[523206720]

This week I only did about 20 - 40 minutes but thats cause I haven't been sleeping well.

Excercise regulary and your sleep will get better. Why do you make such excuses? What do you usualy eat? Does your workplace is well organized? Does it help if you excercise?
