I have to alternate the fingers I use or swap hands most of the time.

I will also get occasional shooting pains through an elbow, toe, knee or some other random places in my body. These are getting more prevalent so I'm thinking there might be a connection with the proliferation of these electromagnetic devices.

Cheers
Jon
Just a thought, there are thin knitted winter gloves that have a special fabric on the fingertips so touchscreens can be used with them on. It might be worth a try to see if that protects you from those sensations.
