2 things I always did.. you guys know I had a full book doing nails
and that dwindled as I started to do all this online stuff that I now
sit here 12+ hours a day typing and playing solitaire :)
I always have a wrist rest.. had one at my nail station too.. not for
the client, but for me :) yea well she had a cushion thingie that
came with the table, but she wasnt sitting there 10 hrs a day doing nails.
I don;t use the mouse much here on the puter.. I use the "key
commands" for as much as I can, switching between applications, tabs
in the browser, copy paste.. everything I can. I also dont use a
regular mouse, I use a roller ball type. I think if anyone was gong
to be a prime candidate for CTS it might have been me. I will tell
you the only time I get twinges in my wrist is when I do use a
regular mouse for any length of time.

Make sure you use ice packs on your wrist nightly....maybe while you
sit and watch tv. Then sleep with a wrist brace, which helps greatly,
along with ibuprofin or Aleve. When my left wrist starts giving me
problems (car wreck years ago and had to have surgery on it) I know
it's because I am not sitting correctly at my nail table.
Usually I will catch myself leaning to the left, kind of resting my
forearm on my nail table as I file. This is to compensate for my back
aching. Once I'm aware I'm doing that, then I sit up straight and get
my wrist off the table. I know you know how crucial it is to always
work keeping your wrists straight as you file. I've been doing nails
for 23 years and my mentor trained me to keep my wrists straight in
order to avoid CT. So far, no CT even after I had the surgery to
remove torn cartilege in my wrist.
Every now and again when I'm working on the networking Event, my wrist
will let me know that I've been on the computer too long and it's time
to log off and wear the wrist brace!
