Im tig welding alot at work, but im starting to feel sore in my wrists from walking the cup all day. How do you guys avoid this? Should I buy glucosamine and chondroitin? Does this happen to any body else?
Sounds like you may be tensing up more than you need to. Try consciously relaxing and making sure that you are in the best, most comfortable position. You may still get wrist or forearm pain, but the tighter you hold the torch, the less time it takes to get the carpal tunnel type condition that sounds like what you're describing... Maybe practice welding using your other hand, and alternate...?
Walking the cup shouldn't be all wrist, your arm should be moving with the wrist stiff for the most part. If your doing all wrist movement I could see that being a very bad thing.....
However both of the supplements you mention do help, a buddy swears by a drink he uses that has gluecosamin in it for his knees. Felt the difference....
I'm sitting in my hot tub right now sore as can be, I fins that helps as well. Drinking coffee watching all this frozen crap melt so we can get another 12" tonight.
