Since it seems timed with the work changes , I'd keep looking into that scenario..
Do you still take regular breaks at home? do walking or stretching? Also slouching/hunching posture can cramp nerves & blood flow up in the neck/chest areas pinching them and causing problems down the arms/hands.... and if long term it can end up a chronic condition called Thoracic outlet syndrome.. (TOS) Look up ergonomic desk set ups and compare yours to those suggestions..it can even be monitor /keyboard angles - any tightness/discomfort in your neck at all? A few simple things to try - many times a day - http://www.neurotalk.org/members/100-albums422.html More info on TOS & various RSI symptoms- Trigger point information {TrPs} for short http://www.neurotalk.org/thoracic-ou...les-polls.html http://www.neurotalk.org/forum24/ The splints for carpal tunnel are not really for use while you are working. The splint are to align your wrist in the proper angles when at rest..

thx for your reply and the information.
I do as many breaks as was doing before at the office, which is not many, but I'm not always glued at the keyboard since my line of work leads me lots of pondering so I'm constantly "stretching" at the chair, putting my hands at the back of my head and stuff like that, but not exactly stopping and doing exercises so that could be something to improve. Something I forgot to say before is that since it started I only work about 2 or 3 hours a day, I basically forced myself to "half-vacations". I do have a really bad posture when sitting I have to admit that, I start sliding down the chair, this is something I have to force myself to correct for sure. I didn't know though that it could trigger something on the arms and hand, but I guess it makes sense. At the desk I never felt anything on the neck but I do if work from my laptop at the bed (which now I've been doing more of). Regarding the glove/splint maybe I don't actually have what I think I have? well, the glove as a splint that can bend a little on the back of the hand part and a bead "sack" at the wrist area, so I can rest my hand and have it straight while on the PC. Thx for the info links |
