Ughh look at what y'all monte peeps have done to me!
Do you rest your wrists on the desk? Is the keyboard higher up than your elboms? I program 8 hours a day, typing constantly and i dont have any problems but that is because i work to use the most comfortable position. Some people find it better to put their keyboard on their lap instead of on the desk. Who ever mentioned a new keyboard has the right idea.
i have tendinitis in both of my wrists and im starting to get carpel tunnel in my left wrist as well due to breaking it in 4 places. it definitely doesn't feel to great. it helps to get little splints for your hands
I switched to a more ergonomic keyboard because my wrists were hurting me after a while too. But my biggest problem is my back. Injured my back at work years ago. Wouldn't wish back pain on my worst enemy.
Brittany, I hope your wrists start feeling better soon. Being in pain sux.

Sorry to hear about your wrists, Brittany - my daughter had to same thing when she was pregnant. The doctor prescribed splints and they helped a lot. What show are you going to this coming weekend? I've been looking for shows in this area to go to - don't want to travel too far cuz of the price of gas right now. Let me know if it's anywhere within driving distance of St. Louis (west county).
Brittany - Lou I think you and I are close in age

I'm still dealing with the pinky on my right hand. Its the one I cut my tendons and nerves to back in December. It's very stiff and only bends at my first knuckle and is permanently curved in. They say another surgery may help. I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
