Yeah. It's not rocket science is it?
You must have worked it out instinctively. Or else you're a OHS guru.
In my case, I did typing at high school and I think being able to type with all 10 fingers is one of the best skills I ever learned. I really think that those people who use the same muscles all the time are in sweatshops or the like.
In a real work eivironment, if your hand or arm gets tired from typing, do something different! It's the same with anything. Give it a rest!

Yep, I did exactly as above, pain now subsiding quickly. I'm still a bit unco after about 3 months (after 18 years the other way), better to laugh at it and carry on really. Now, logically it should take about 9 years to "balance up" so then I'll just change back again for 4 and half, back 2 and a quarter, back 1 and...back to zero, by that time I'll probably be talking to the things anyway.

I admit it - have worked in OHSE (teaching Emergency Procedures to Staff), also in the Navy, and am currently a Health & Safety rep, first aider etc etc.
I do get a lot of people needing help with RSI and do what I can for them - different setups, voice recognition software etc, and also a LOT of whinging, whining BS. It is a matter of filtering it all though, helping those who need it, and .......
wait a minute.....sounds like I'm a moderator..... :eek:"Clear, Ease Springs"

At work we have someone who is clearly abusing the 'system. It is so embarrassing that others with genuine complaints are now scared to speak up because they know the reaction will be "oh god, here comes another one!".
I have in the past pulled a muscle in my lower back due to over exertion, as soon as it happened I could hardly walk and was immediately accused of malingering. Obviously I resented that, I also resent having the beginnings of limited movement in my arms and weakness that I suspect may be RSI or whatever it is, and not being inclined to do anything about it because my generation has always just "got on with it".
I guess that makes me a bit of a mug.

Look at the clock in the corner of your screen.
As soon as it ticks over the next minute, stick your left arm (right if you are a lefty) straight out parallel to the floor, palm down, & hold it there for one minute.
(watch the clock dumby)
As soon as a minute is up, put your arm down by your side at rest.
The sensation you feel is fatigue, not RSI.
Caused by using musles that you don't normally use, they can do it but are out of condition so they hurt after a while.
Makes a point, I'm not sure what the point is but it makes a point.
I think it kind of supports Wongo's point.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

This RSI thing seems to be a big thing in OZ. And for many years now too. Just the other day I was watching some old footage of Sir Les Patterson. He was describing some RSI that he copped at the RSL.

Any chance that the condition will spred to the Austalian 11 this summer if your bowlers have to bowl 60 overs every innings each they should be good subjects for the complaint.

Wow.
Poor Beathaven and Mozzart.
I knew they suffered terribly, but now I realise it was RSI.
If only they had oh & S in those days we may have got some better music.
Then think of the noise pollution that Bach had to suffer (apart from the teasing from his unfortunate name).
We're so lucky to live in our wonderful world today.
