Comping related injuries ..

I seem to have incurred repetitive strain injury in my wrist from navigating all those websites as fast as I can possibly can, and manically typing in my details for the millionth time!

I also have eye strain from squinting at the laptop.

Comping is my most favourite hobby .. but it has come at a cost! :rotfl:

Anyone else got any comping related injuries?!

I think I'm prob well on the way to a RSI. I try to change my position so that I'm not holding my wrist in the same pose, but it doesn't last long.

Also every time I close my eyes I see that flipping Vimto bouncing car - does that count as an injury

make sure you use roboform to fill most of the forms in for you that should help! also maybe get a different kind of mouse, one of those with a ball, and keep swapping them over, so your wrist is making different movements not the same one.s
