Hello folks,<br>
<br>
Am sure as all of you are computer users, some probably quite prolific (as coders etc), that some of you have had experience with RSI.<br>
<br>
I have had a bad wrist for a few years now on and off. It always seemed to go away but recently (last 4-6months) it seems to be here and not going away.<br>
<br>
Basically I get a pain in the inside corner of my wrist when it is bent back, i.e. in a position to do push ups. I cannot push things (e.g. doing push ups) without it hurting and shaking it (shaking inside-out socks) hurts too.<br>
<br>
I have tried wearing a wrist strap (like a sports one) for the last few weeks but it doesn't seem to be making much difference.<br>
<br>
I am a CAD user by day, which is very mouse-dependant, but also do an amount of typing, but I think the mouse usage is the main culprit as its always semi-hovering as I manoeuvre the mouse.<br>
<br>
I am wondering if anyone else has had experiences like this and how they got rid of it? Maybe those little cushioned mouse mats, where you rest your wrist on a small cushion would help.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There are lots of things you can try: make sure that you're sitting at a comfortable angle (I had this a while ago because my seat was too low); try a wrist rest, either as part of a mouse mat or separately; if all else fails, consider an alternative pointing device like a trackball or even a graphics pad.</div>
