Wrist Pain

[audie]

To those of you (& you know who you are) who have 100's, even 1,000's of posts, you MUST have wrist pain! My "mouse hand" is in so much pain and I'm sure it's from mousing so much on Sowal.com! Using the roller is the killer! I now am using a wrist brace! But the problem is I have to finish laying out a huge newsletter for my job by tomorrow! I may have to actually give my wrist and Sowal.com a rest so I can finish my job!

BTW, it is 1 degree outside w/ windchill of 20 below.

i feel for you - between computers at work, computer at home, and cross stitching, sometimes my hands get numb. we are having a heat wave here - it is 6 degrees with wind chill -3. i can hear my gas bill going up and up and up and up

FTLOG...don't give up Sowal.com!!! I am sorry you are in pain..is this that carpal tunnel syndrome?

I hate to tell you this...I have NO pain in my hands or wrists (but, OH my back and neck!!) and therefore, I have the ability to annoy y'all continuously! Stop that eye rolling and moaning immediately!!!

Same here. I have never had neck pain in my life until I became addicted to this board. I guess this board has become a pain in the neck for me. Small price for FUNN though.

I think the roller-ball mouse is the best. Your arm and wrist stays stationary and you just move your fingers.

Johnrudy...have you tried a wrist/arm brace for stabilizing? I hate hearing about the throbbing pain...definitely no FUNN!

Sueshore, that's where I get my SoWal pain, too. In the neck, right where that bone is that's the last one before your head starts. Ouch Ouch Ouch! I'm thinking we need to get a proper computer chair, but then again, if that happened, I'd never get any work done! So I sit on the hard kitchen chair and endure.

No pain...no Funn gain!!! It's about time for me to go get into the traction machine! Here's to suffering for one's craft!!!

I have a roller ball mouse and that's where I think my problem has originated from... the fact that's ALL that I move ARE my fingers. My pain is in the top of my hand, the part of the phalanges (sp?) that connect to the wrist bones. I'm guessing they're inflammed (& that feels like an understatement!). I have been wearing one of those wrist stabilizers. I'm sure if I'd give my hand a rest, it'd all be o.k.!!!!

You are screwed! How about a voice activated mouse? Time to call James Bond's friend...Q!!!

I'm doing great since I had the full arm transplant last month!
