RSI Article

[Cache-man]

I'm looking forward to your RSI article, as it's something I suffer with myself.

Not very often from PC use though, more from work.
I occasionally have a painfully acheing hand from lengthly periods of mouse chasing, but my main pain comes from the same hand after shifts at my workplace - I am a carvery chef, and spend many hours carving meats for old biddies with dentures.
Although this is generally isolated to the same hand that I injured (broken thumb, and fractured wrist) in a motorcycle accident a few years ago.

Ta!

I've just been through 4 months of physio for my neck and shoulders, so I also know how it feels. Being quite tall has something to do with it in my case though!

The article won't be until June because I have several large end-of-degree exams coming up, but I hope you like it

what causes RSI? i havent had any problems with a keyboard that i can tell...

Broadly speaking, there are several factors which can cause problems for heavy computer users - things like bad posture, continuous use of a mouse (bad effect on wrists) and so on... I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the article!
