Coping with Computer Induced Hand Pain: Guidelines for Pain-free Computing

I worked in the field of information technology for 25 years, constantly typing and using my mouse. Gradually over a period of time this computer use started to take its toll on my hands and as a result I began to experience hand pain. The pain came on gradually, but it worsened over time and eventually reached the point where it was so bad that I was forced to consider quitting work. This was a serious personal crisis because I had to work to support my family.

I did research looking for guidance on how to deal with this situation but unfortunately none was to be found. So, I set out to solve the problem myself.

After much effort, I developed an innovative set of techniques that allowed me to continue to work pain-free on the computer. The methodology I developed integrates elements of software, hardware, and work practices. I have successfully used this methodology at the office for five years with the result that I am able to put in a full day of work, using my computer pain-free. I wrote this book to share the unique innovations that I devised with others who may have a need for this information.

In this book I explain in great detail the methodology that I developed which allowed me to do computer work pain-free. The information that I present in this book is of vital interest to anyone who is experiencing hand pain caused by their computer use.
