Pain Free Typing - How to prevent Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) to the wrist

Hi Everyone, Since the last few days I have been suffering from wrist pain,so much so that I required a pain relief spray yesterday night.It was then that I decided to find out how to prevent this from happening again.I am a software engineer by day and that means a lot of typing.Now I have never had any typing lessons so I don't know if the way I type is causing the problem.Anyways ,I searched the net and here's what I found: This great slideshow shows how you can work at the computer in an injury free manner.Have a look : http://www.customtyping.com/tutorials/erg/erg_slide_show.htm What I found was that I had to keep my wrist in a neutral position i.e. my hand should not be bent at the wrist.Also I realized I should type really gently,I was literally banging away at the keyboard. Another thing I did was,I saw that the person in the picture used a kind of pad to rest her wrists.Now I didn't have that and didn't have enough time to go shop for one,atleast not before weekend.So I folded up my cotton scarf and fashioned a pad out of that .It turned out that this really helped. Mouseing : About mouse use,I liked the following two points: 1.Move the mouse using your elbow, not your wrist. Remove your hand from the wrist pad or elbow support as this locks the elbows in place and encourages you to use the wrist. 2.Swap hands.Use the left and right hands alternatively to move your mouse.In the beginning it may be awkward and slow using your non dominant hand but believe me its worth it. Anyways those are the really useful things I found.Will keep you updated on new stuff I learn and whether my wrist pain reduced by using these techniques. See ya!!!!
