Morning!
How seriously do you guys take the health and safety advice regarding sitting at a computer? I've been in this job for a number of years and have read all the advice and thought to myself (rather foolishly) "it'll never happen to me, I'm in my mid 20's!"
However, earlier this week, the pain in the hand started, meaning it was difficult to grab the mouse, door handles, any weighty objects etc. A few days in a tube bandage and resting my mouse hand by using my weak hand for the mouse and phone etc (took some getting used to let me tell you!) and I'm pretty much back to normal, with a little discomfort in the wrist - but it's hit me like a ton of bricks that I should probably sort myself out if I don't want this sort of issue to become more common and the effects worse...
I've ordered through the school a new keyboard (with better adjustment), a new sculpted mouse, and wrist rests for both keyboards and mice.
What do you guys tend to do? Are your monitors at eye height? Is your chair and table suitable heights etc? How seriously do you take the posture advice?
Cheers!
