Compers wrist!

BlueBella

I have developed a ganglion (fluid filled lump) on my mousing wrist! I went to the docs this morning and she says it is probably due to overuse and to get rid of it I could try wacking it with a bible or other heavy object! ! :j I also suffer with bad cramps and stiffness in my second and fourth fingers on the 'adjoining' hand (the fingers I use to click the right and left side of the mouse)! So it seems I have 'compers wrist!'

AND to add to my comping induced aliments, I have also had to start wearing glasses lately too! So I need to win a bionic hand and spare glasses as I have already sat on and broke two pairs already! :rotfl: Oh and once I tripped over the dog and smacked the side of my head on the door rushing to open the door to the postie! :eek:

'':rotfl: Oh and once I tripped over the dog and smacked the side of my head on the door rushing to open the door to the postie! :eek:

Welcome to my world :beer:

I've had the Ganglion for a year now and sometimes its gets bigger and quite painful. I can move it around and this gives me a huge amount of fun when comping gets a little slow:o
Glasses have been a must for ages.;)

Next comes the Tena pads so you don't have to step away from the pc too often

Oh, and don't hit it with a Bible/heavy book. If it does go it'll just come back.

I have mousepad with a gel pad at the wrist this helps a little

But I haven't been comping for very long and am unsure as to the long term side effects.....so your post has given an insight into the need for preventative measures

I might have to look for a support group .... Compers annonymous Anyone ?

I am also suffering from compers wrists/hands, have been for quite awhile one hand I have Carpal tunnel syndrome, where my hand and thumb go numb, plus, and the same as you BlueBella I have pain in the finger joints, and during the Advents last year by the end of the day all the veins in one hand swelled right up from overuse, so I have recently unfortunately had to stop posting wins on the facebook winners thread, and cutting back as much as I can, but I refuse to give up, until my hands drop off....

I might try one of those gel pad things - and maybe one of those visors for the screen. Does anyone know if you wear the visor on your head? I have heard you can get them to protect your eyes but not seen any!?

I also suffer from piles so sit on a rubber ring while comping with my furry claw slippers and wonky glasses on and lumpy wrist!
