Discussion - Too much computer time
I think I spend way too much time on my computer. Lately, my forearms hurt by the wrist and shoots almost all the way to my elbows. My fingers cramp up often even when I'm not using the computer and I can't move them like I used to. Now, my left thumb is causing me some irritating problems and I feel like I can barely move it.
I'm a programmer by occupation 8.5 hours a day on the computer. I go to school full-time (online) There's another couple hours a day. Working on computers and browsing the forums takes up another 1-3 hours, depending on how helpful I'm feeling. Think maybe I should take a break? lol I have a feeling this isn't going to be good!

Then the computer wont be able to understand you with a mouthful of pringles.
Also, I find it extremely ironic that your avatar is a transcedant hand with a peaceful white background and you started this thread lol.

I think it's all in the position in which you type. Good posture goes a long way..... Of course, back when I was really heavy into 1st person shooter games, I would play through the pain. There are certain stretches that a lot of companies make their employees perform to avoid carpal tunnel.

for the last 7 years I spend most of my time in front of computer, and
so far no such problems - guess that each body reacts differently to such kind of burden. put on those braces, and make sure to post in the Picture Gallery so everyone can laugh, not just you!! |
