Overuse injury right hand

I’m still in school and I graduate in 50 days. Already having a minor injury…

To keep it short, woke up, hand was swollen and painful to touch , then it progressed to itchiness. Which apparently was the nerves being compressed per doctor.

Anyways, I got a steroid shot , prescribed a muscle relaxers that make you drowsy, told to RICE, and I’m now wearing a compression glove .

Was told I can’t scan for a week, so I’m not allowed to go to clinical. I have to make up those hours before graduation, or I have to extend my program a week 😭.

Bright side is I take my registry in two weeks and I can study this whole week with no interruption.

I do work out.. I’m a retired power lifter, even though I’m still in my early 20s lol.

I also have been working at the gym during my whole program, and I’m the club attendant so I’m having to pick up people’s weights for the whole shift/clean.

I’m a general sonographer.

I’m considering scanning in my compression glove. I think I have pretty decent wrist strength; since I’m a retired powerlifter as I mentioned earlier, but I tend to bench press with wrist wraps. I also do shoulder exercises . I’m 145 pounds pretty lean if that makes any difference. I was a student athlete during my undergrad bachelors degree.

I’m reaching out because I just wanna know some things I can do to keep this from happening again. What’s some other recommendations y’all can give to keep injury low?
