[ubuntu-uk] RSI - Follow Up

[Jon Reynolds]

 Well since my thread about possible RSI, I think I see an improvement.

 Basically, I got myself one of those wrist supports (the gel pad that 
 you rest your wrist on) and that started feeling more comfortable 
 straight away. I also use a spare mouse mat to rest my elbow on (as my 
 elbow was getting very sensitive to the touch due to resting on table 
 all day).

 This combination has definitely made my wrist feel better. Coupled with 
 this, I had the 11 day break over Easter and just resting it for a 
 prolonged period really made a difference.

 So I thank you all for the advice and comments.

 Additionally, I went to the doctor about it (but this was after it was 
 already starting to feel a bit better) and she reckoned it was probably 
 a ganglion. I mentioned to her that I thought it could well be RSI 
 related, but she didn't seem to interested in that idea. She arranged an 
 x-ray but I forgot to go. But I don't feel the need any more any way. 
 All that did was weaken my opinion of my doctor; she's very much the 
 sort to say 'oh you're fine its nothing' - not great for making you feel 
 like she cares or knows what she's looking at!

 Cheers all.
