STRESS in my mouse hand

Justin Mandel · 08-07-2009, 01:08 PM

I just noticed this and never thought that I would hold this much stress in my mouse hand. As someone who has worked to mindfully relax and de-stress my body as much as possible for years on end, I NEVER would've thought that there would be this much tension when I put my hand on the mouse since I simply never noticed it before.

I just came in from my cultivation practices (chi-kung and internal kung fu) and hunkered on in to sit in front of the computer when I noticed it like a shiny little christmas present in glossy red wrapping paper sitting right on my desk

So if I have stress in my mouse hand then I must assume that maybe YOU have stress in your mouse hand too

Self Myofasical Release and Trigger point work is excellent for overuse problems like mouse hand, wrist pain, strained forearms, forward head tilt, etc.

Internet markets have some of the worse postural distortions there is and it really helps to remove stress.

I highly recommend The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. You can also check out these articles on T-nation.

It used to be called RSI - Repetetive Strain Injury. From keyboards or mice. Nobody believed it at first. Do they now?

This is a really old thread but it's never too late to learn. Visit the Learning Center at the WARM-MOUSE-HEATED-KEYBOARD.COM website and learn about the benefits of using infrared heat USB Hand Warmers for STRESS in your mouse hand. It relieves stress, strain and helps prevent the onset of RSI and CTD.

Hope this is helpful.

Talk about bad geometry. Right now my right leg is on the desk, my cat is laying on my lap, and I'm stretched over to the right typing this. (no kidding)

I never noticed much mouse hand stress, but over the years I developed a helluva callous in my mouse hand. It's at the base of my hand where it rests on the desk. One of those bones that kinda sticks out. Where's my Gray's Anatomy book...

Not to find humor in your comment, but I can't help but laugh because I thought I was the only person who suffers with "mouse hand" computer overload. The "ball" of my palm, the part you are talking about, right at the bone is also slightly calloused! hehehe

I'm a strong believer in infrared heat USB hand warmers. There's a warm surfaced mouse pad which generates a steady flow of deep healing infrared heat. It helps soothe those tired, overworked hand parts. I've been using it for about 6 months and noticed a descrease in the amount of pain around the area you are talking about. I don't have enough posts on this forum to post links, yet but if you are interested, search google for
"infrared heat warm mouse pad" and take a look.

People generalize every day. Even you, sir. I'd have to say speaking to others as if you
are commanding them is much worse than generalizing. But... of course I'm speaking in
generalities, so perhaps you can forgive me. Or not.

I have a hefty mouse callous on the wrist of my mouse hand. Anyone else experience this?

My repetitive stress syndrome in my mouse hand and arm has gotten so bad over the past couple of weeks, I've seriously considered trying to become ambidextrous. Or hooking my speech recognition software back up and using voice commands to move around.

Ibuprofen, massage and ice packs.

mavischan · 08-13-2009, 09:49 AM

Repetetive Strain Injury.most of the IT ppl will hav this syndrome because of wrong posture.wat can do it is give yourself some time to relax and do some simple exercise after long time using mouse or keyboard.

Preben Frenning · 08-13-2009, 09:50 AM

I've also gotten a pretty bad stiffness in my shoulder/neck/arm lately too.

No issues before now, but I spent approx. 12 hours doing repetitive things, and that's when it started.
I wanted to finish as quickly as possible, so I stressed my arm quite a lot. It helped a bit, now that I got a VA to do it, but it still hurts.
My plan is to keep on what I'm doing until I can afford to go take a massage at least 1-2 times a week

- Or buy a massage chair. - Or both.

If the problem persists, I'll get more into the "Ergonomic" style of living and working. After all, I don't want this to be permanent...

I have carpal tunnel in my mouse hand. 2 things that help the most.

Evoluent Vertical Mouse. Your hand is in a natural hand shake vertical position instead of twisted to face downward.

Vitamin B6 - Google Vitamin B6 Carpal Tunnel and you'll find lots of supporting information.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Be sure to massage your hand, between your thumb and forefinger. Also, massage your forearm and wrist in a circular motion around your whole forearm. That should help.
