    This has been happening a lot to me lately. When I've been using a computer for a while my right hand [the one I use the mouse with] always gets very cold. My other hand always is fine. I presume it's bad circulation or something. :-( Does anybodyelse have this problem??? :wtf: [or is it just me :~] [cool. i typed this without looking at the keyboard... :cool:

      Try swapping your mouse to the left hand (swap buttons too). This will give your right hand a break. Paresh Solanki Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat.

            Ok. So it's probably slightly more seriouse than I thought it was. Must have a look into it :-)

                              Takes a while to get used to it. I have a RH mouse for home and a LH mouse for work. I do it that way to annoy the techies when I need them to set up my PC for something. Anyhow, I used to get pain in my right hand before I started this trick and after I got used to it, the pain went away Paresh Solanki Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat.

                                    There is always uncertainty, Paul. But since I used boiling water, I feel much more certain than before.:) I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!

                                      This has been happening a lot to me lately. When I've been using a computer for a while my right hand [the one I use the mouse with] always gets very cold. My other hand always is fine. I presume it's bad circulation or something. :-( Does anybodyelse have this problem??? :wtf: [or is it just me :~] [cool. i typed this without looking at the keyboard... :cool:

                                      Your computer is turning you into a machine - slowly draining the warmth and life out of your hand. It's beginning with your mouse hand because it's in constant contact with the machine. That's my expert medical opinion.

                                        That's the place, and all around the perimeter of them. It seems those little knots are constantly in spasm, and the not only pinch nerves, but diminish blood supply, as well. I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!
