Hi Danb,

I had previously experienced wrist pains on my right hand too due heavy use on computers, mouse, calculators and keyboards. After many consultations with friends and doctors, it was not CTS (luckily) but it was a sign that my body (or my hand) is being stressed and if aggravated further will develop into something worse.

There are several ways to help prevent this from happening :

1. Do stretching exercise for your fingers and wrists before and after each work (just like going for physical games).

2. Take breaks.

3. Don't type too hard on the computer keyboard. There are some users who 'bang' the keyboard because it feels good! The harder you type the more stressed your fingers / wrist is.

4. This one takes practice and i had successfully done it. Most people use the right hand on the mouse. Change it to the left hand! This will take away a big load from your right hand fingers and wrist!

Hope the above helps.
