    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.

You may be a good beta-tester for my mouse-emulation application :) It emulates the mouse through keyboard shortcuts (I'm finishing it because I've an injured ankle and I've to keep my left leg on another chair, making any mouse movement almost impossibile :)). -- Looking for a new screen-saver?

I ignored it until the only sensation in my right arm was a strange combination of numbness and shooting pains up the length of the arm. I tried for a time using a Chiropractor, but saw no relief until I went for a massage. Snapping the bones and "adjusting" the spine did nothing, but kneading the tiny knots in the upper back increased the flow and relieved the problem. It hasn't come back, and that was over a year ago. I highly recommend it! I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!

            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!

                  First signs of RSI. I get regular twitches in my mouse hand from using the mouse so much. Coldness and pins and needles are usually a sign of bad circulation or high blood pressure.

                    You could perhaps try to modify the angle between your hand and your arm, to have your hand the most aligned with your arm, without twisting your wrist ?
