I've had a developing wrist problems these two weeks from too much computer at work and at school. Anyone have this happen before?

What can I do to help? Minor symptoms of carpals. My wrists crack and stuff when I flex them and they ache now. Should I get a better chair, mouse pad and see a physio? The way I sit? Probs with egronomics?

I can't play the piano this week because of the ache.

No wanking jokes please.


edit: at home...forgot i'm done school

 

try a different chair
use a mouse pad cushion thingy
take a break every 20-30 mins

 

yeah i get it all the time...

buy a mouse pad that has the gel on the front of it.

also make sure you are sitting up straight while typing for a long time, and maybe look into getting a gel rest for in front of your keyboard

 

Mouse pad with gel....gotcha
Keyboard with gel...

How about the chair? Do you have it low (like in the car) or positioned high?

 

I have mine high so I can sit up above the keyboard. It actually almost sits in my lap

I have tendonitis. It sucks major. I feel it bad when I'm on the computer, bowling, and working on my car.
