My wrist is fucking killing me!
- Thread starter matt3
- Start date
I bought a $5 bean bag (link here: Amazon.com: Comfortbead Wrist Rest (mouse): Electronics) for under my wrist and haven't had a problem since.
Wrist support FTW.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone... I decided to try a little of each recommended in the thread.
Grabbed a bean bag wrist support, changed ergos as recommended (removed chair arms, raised height, tilted forward), ditched the mouse pad, increased tracking (holy christ btw!), and an Evoluent is on the way. Still looking at changing my desk (lots of choices out there).
It's been about 4 days now since the changes and the pain is much more manageable. Still some tension and sporadic pain, but I'd imagine it won't go away all at once.
Also added pull ups to my routine periodically throughout the day, and change mouse positions every once in a while... DEFINITELY helps stretch out the forearm/arm muscles and ease the tension just by hanging from a pull up bar.

The been bag is the cats meow. I use that and at another desk have the gel pad and thats a close second. The other suggestion would be a chair with adjustable arms (move higher so arm is level w/ mouse really helps) u can get that little been bag just about anywhere and worth every penny
Never had a wrist ache since and it's very functional, close to a normal mouse but without the problems.
Easy to use / no getting used too either.
I just love this mouse. Been using it for a year now and my CTS symptoms that were starting went away
^It still costs $100 after a year?? It's just a mouse with the lens on the right side... Geez...
