Thanks for all of the replies; it seems as
if there are a lot of GIS users out there with some kind of problem. It appears
that the problem is greatly increased by the specific actions required for GIS
use (click/drag, precision mouse use etc.) and is a greater issue than the
usual keyboard/mouse strain caused by poor wrist support or inappropriate workstations.
Worryingly, a lot of people seem to be just accepting the pain and discomfort. There
are two people I know of who require surgery due to various ‘repetitive strain’
problems, not just Carpel Tunnel.
Apologies to anyone who finds this topic unacceptable.
