edit: and with surgery, theirs a flab of tissue above the carpal tunnel that causes the irritation (maybe it's a minor muscle?) Getting it cut will reduce nearly 100% of the irritation to the carpal tunnel, similarily, getting the cubital tunnel drilled out a little will also reduce all irritation to that part of the hand. I believe most progamers have atleast one of these surgeries done and this is why they perform at the length they play. | ||

Personally I am so used to slouching and resting my wrists that when I tried to do that exercise it hurt after a while but ill surely give it a go. | ||

no but seriously, I've been doing these subconsciously as far as I can remember. Except the hand stretches are more like stick my arms up as far as I can and stretch everything along the way up to the hand. And I do a wrist rolling thing where I make a fist. And I love doing the forearm stretch, I even use that one when actually working out. | ||

I've had problems with my hand and wrist quite frequently since a rather strange football accident, where I was standing keeper and a friend of mine took a cracking shot. The ball hit me on my jaw, knocked me out (how that happened I have no idea, but clearly keeping isn't my thing) and I landed on my right hand. When I went to the hand surgeon he showed and told me about a lot of the stuff you've mentioned here (particularly the stretches) and instructed me do do them once my hand was all healed up. Ended up not doing surgery and now I'm showing all the symptoms of RSI. I guess spending a very large percentage of my free time on my PC doesn't help. This post will hopefully prove very useful to my unfortunate right hand. You have my thanks :D | ||

Really could have used it today. Im thinking of calling in sick tomorrow, my hand is soo bad. Been doing the wrist stretches and all but it really needs rest (which is damn hard since all I wanna do is play some games lol. If you see me in LoL you know I gave in :p) I actually looked into buying one of those head band things which controls the mouse pointer. Thought it would be an interesting experiment and training for the brain. Unfortunately it only works with x32 OS so bleh. Edit: I started using the wrist pad thing that came with my Razer Exactmat. Its awkward but prob for the best until i get this vertical thing (which I completely plan on trying to game with no matter how long it takes to get used to..) | ||

Ffs, theres a 3rd mouse button at the bottom which I just clicked, turns out to be the back button of all things so I lost my post. Oh well, i'll test it more thoroughly at work tomorrow and report results. First impression: Waay smaller than I imagined and will definitely take getting used to. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Ikari Picture] + ![[image loading]](http://www.tech-reviews.co.uk/images/reviews/hardware/steelseries-ikari/steelseries-ikari4.jpg) My problem before with other mice was that I would grip the edge with my ring and pinky finger, and my hand would be too curled up. The nice thing about the Ikari is that it has ring and pinky ringer supports which helped me to correct this issue after maybe a month or two of using it. I will probably still use the Ikari for general computer use, but I can't really beat the salmosa when it comes to gaming. | ||

do your settup always as nice as it feels for you, thats common. i have a challenge for you that suffer from bone, muscle and tendon problems, aka pain: i predict: 1. you suffer self esteem problems focused on the area you do your work and solving problems, maybe at home getting something done or somewhere else. It is always the same, if you want something to happen, you can not do it right now, you learn what ever, you get a conflict exactly at the area the action is projected, like soccer would be the knees, tennis, elbow, computer, fingers, hand wrist and so on. 2. the pain will start if you solved the conflict. this has to do with biological and nature perfectionism. it will exactly stay as long as the starting conflict lasted until the solvation. this is the healing phase. this is the time you normally go to a doctor and get medicine. the time this is lasting is already predetermined. with or without medicine. after the healing phase you are healthy again. like you have been all the time. if you not decided to get poisened by a medicine stopping the natural healing process and get a chronical disease. test this about yourself, if you get ill, has there been an intense event taking you of guard and you have to solve it alone? the moment of solvation is the starting point of the "illness" aka healing, the illness/healing will exactly match the period conflict was about. (me:I am a alternative healer in germany, here are 2 ways to be allowed to handle patients:you are a medicine degree, or you are a heilpraktiker, what is healing practician in translation. only those are alowed to decide what to do to persons that got ill.) non the less, next time you get a cough, check if something unexpected happened to you, and the time it started and the time you come ok with it and solve it, so you get the time how exactly long this will be. like time of conflict = time of healing (illness) and the longer it gets the more dangerous it gets. like cancer. non the less it is healing phase but dangerous. | ||
