Wrist Strain - Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Advice Blog: "What Does Elbow Pain Have to do With | Carpal Tunnel Syndrome November 21st, 2007 by Shari Smith Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one of the most common of many of the musculo-skeletal overuse syndromes.
Helge: I've a concern for geeks and those who are on their keyboards every single day for hours and hours. I happen to be one of those, and there are millions and millions more.

Helge: I've been reading the Mediracer questionary for screening and early determination of CTS. I've no reason to be concerned, yet, but I know crafts people who most probably are suffering CTS.

Helge: Repetitive strain injury (RSI).
The ulnar nerve also controls the two small fingers on your hand; therefore, you may be experiencing weakness in your two small fingers. One cause of this can be resting your wrists on a wrist pain that is not soft enough.

Experts recommend either no wrist pad or if necessary, than a gel wrist pain. resting your wrists on a hard surface can pinch the median nerve at the wrist area. Rest breaks every 20 minutes when on the computer are VERY important.
Just try taking a 45 second break every 20 minutes for a week. When you take this break, puts your hands together in pray position and tilt your fingertips away from you and downward (gently). Hold for 5 seconds and repeat until you’ve rested for 45 seconds. After a week see if your symptoms have improved.
