How I fixed PS5 controller thumb pain

I am not a doctor, but I've had a lot of people comment on an old reddit post I made asking about this. These exercises helped me, they might help you too.

And so it is the 8bit pro 2 in your opinion right? Which one would you pick xbox controller or the 8bit? If you read this ty a lot
