If, while working at the computer, your hand suddenly and sharply begins to hurt the hand with which you are holding the mouse, the pain intensifies and does not go away for a long time, then you can be "congratulated". This is a manifestation of the tunnel syndrome, another disease of civilization. Severe pain and the inability to continue to sit at the computer may hide tendon swelling, damage to the wrist nerve. A chronic form of joint disease may even develop. Your health depends on how correctly you hold the computer mouse.
Instructions
Step 1
Check how you usually hold your PC mouse. To hold the mouse correctly, the hand should be straight and as far away from the edge of the table as possible.
Step 2
Stop using the retractable keyboard and mouse stand. Better to pick them up, put them on the table in front of the monitor. In this case, the angle of inclination of the arm will approach 90 degrees, which will be more comfortable for you.
Step 3
The furniture you sit on - a chair or an armchair - should have armrests that provide the necessary support for your hands and wrists.
Step 4
Mouse pads are not at all an anachronism, especially if there is a special anatomical bulge for the wrist. It is very convenient and correct to use such a mouse. Therefore, it is imperative that you purchase such a correct mat.
Step 5
Exercise your hands every hour or at least two hours. It doesn't matter which one: from the well-known "We wrote, we wrote, our fingers are tired" to the clicking of fingers - if only a little longer.
Step 6
If you are not complex when using the mouse, use a special rigid medical bandage that also supports your wrist. You can buy it at an orthopedic salon or pharmacy.
Step 7
You need to move the mouse with only your fingers, and not with your whole hand, especially with the help of your shoulder. Hold the mouse by the edges with your thumb and little finger, put your index finger on the left button, your middle finger on the wheel, and your ring finger on the right button.
