QUESTION:
"I get pain in my right hand near my wrist after long periods of typing and sometimes the area around my wrist (palm side) gets a bit swollen too. What can I do to help the problem?"
ANSWER:
This sounds like a case of "Occupational Overuse Syndrome" (OOS), or more commonly known as "Repetitive Strain Injury" (RSI). There is usually no discrete pathological cause for RSI - it is rather related to the overuse (and/or improper use) of particular areas of the body resulting in pain and/or other symptom.
- Common causes of RSI (eg. repetitive movements, sustained/awkward postures, and more)
- Typical symptoms
- Treatment (including advice on exercises, ergonomics, computer & writing equipment, posture care, pain relief)
