Good video. As a pianist I try to apply coordinated movements when typing or using the mouse including not breaking at the wrist (think of the arm and hand as a unit that moves together), no stretching (shift the whole hand so the fingers stay together, for example, if reaching to hit function or escape key) and not raising the fingers too high so they don't curl. I hope this helps.

2:34 is exactly what's causing my wrist pain. I bought this cheap desktop table were you need to place the mouse on top of it and the keyboard on the slider. The mouse placement causes strain to my forearm while my wrist is holding on from the weight of my arm. I transferred the mouse to fit besides the keyboard on the slider and it feels better now.

About 4 four months ago experienced muscle pain and eventually weakness. Little did I know was side-effect of SIMLO cholesterol tablets taken about 1 year. No warning of side effects were given. I stopped taking months now. Still I get pain 1 side of the left index finger, tiny rare pain left thumb - right little finger and top of right hand - I type often use a mouse or game controller with my right. Once my hands aren't in use it goes but returns with long use. Years typing i never got this pain b4.

Please suggest a wireless ergonomic KB and mouse. Was designated with Ris by the doctor due to pain at left index finger, right palm - mostly. I use a mouse responsible for palm pain; the keyboard causes the index pain. After a long session with the xbox controller the palm hurt. Doctor said i spent too much hours and simlo cholesterol tablets whose side effect was pain months ago and stopped taking - could be a catalyst. I am to change KB and mouse and spend less hours. When i type most its on the bed.

Hi. What do you guys think of this "vertical mousepad" I been using by Orb Control, MouseRamp. I got an early sample of it. I use a regular mouse on it. It puts my hand into "handshake position". It's been more accurate and less awkward than a vertical mouse for me. I hope this helps somebody.

I've been diagnosed with shoulder bursitis, but I see the cause is the overuse of the laptop, specially by clicking the left button of the mouse a million times a day due to the technical work I need to do, specially with microsoft excel. What I feel is mostly a sort of tendinitis in my right bicep because of the use of the index finger. I also feel stiffness and weakness in my hands, specially when waking up. I put a box under the laptop so that I don't curve my neck when I look at the screen, but at the same time I think that is bad for my shoulder and arms. Now I would like to know how to cure myself. Years ago I could heal by stopping the use of the laptop for a couple of days, but nowadays it seems it doesn't go away for months until I get a corticoid shot. Do you have any advice? (this video is great, btw)

To fix it, I'd first recommend resting your finger for a few days until its gone, and then, after its gone, try to improve your current situation. Like taking more breaks (getting water, bathroom), and using a combination for clicking. For example, I use my laptop's touchpad + Mouse, and have never had any problems with my finger tendons (It was my wrist instead). Also, by any chance? Could the problem be with your mouse (What mouse do you use)? And is your mouse difficult to use/press the buttons? Another thing to keep in mind is, how you use your mouse. Is your wrist straight? And how do you move your mouse? Do you move it with your wrist? Or do you use your arm instead? I'd recommend checking this video out, to try and avoid any future problems with mousing: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rK2PZsWEmMzYhoE.html
