    I was having wrist pain and my employee safety committee ordered me a new chair. Seems remote to me, but what the heck! Herman Miller Aero.

          Wouldn't help. It was the non-mousing wrist, but thanks for the tip!

                It would have been a way to go if I could tell the future. The new graphics card fixed the card failure, but then I was getting BSODs. Several attempts at diagnostics over a few months lead to an SSD for the op system. Then the hard-drive failed while they were testing it. They installed a non-HP operating system that caused problems. Finally found the HP emergency backup disc and got a stable machine. After reinstalling all my software 5 times, I have been a bit slow to reinstall even though it is stable.

                    It can be a symptom from having too low a chair, putting your wrist at the wrong angle and helping promote RSI. A new chair (and possibly a wrist rest) may actually help.

                        At some places I've worked, with "modular furniture", I was able to lower the work surface a couple of inches, and that helped. Removing the arms from my chair has helped as well.

                            To avoid that pain I use the chair in that manner that my ellbows are horizitally when typing. And I make reagular breaks to move and stand and make regular exercises as training in sports.:thumbsup: But the most important is not to sit too in front of the computer. And gaming counts also. X|

                              That is good advice about angle. I've dealt with wrist pain for the past 15 years and any additional advice I'd have, which helps me, is use a gel filled mouse pad.

                                That's what caused it in the first place.

Probably the next one I'll get will be that one though... By now I hope the Sayl from HM will be enough for me and of course is a lot better of where I was sitting before...

                                    Sometimes, a chair with a hole in the seat can take care of specific pains.

                                      In case of wrist-pain you may want a wrist-support for your keyboard. Sitting on a chair that was left by a house-mate years ago. Works as advertised. As for the brand-names, I do not care one ounce. There's a lot of cheap chairs that offer similar or more.

                                        Before looking into a chair, I'd look at the keyboard. If you already have an ergonomic keyboard, then by all means, look at the chair next.

                                          That one is the best from HM... Used by Sheldon Cooper... :laugh: I would have bought this one, but it was too expensive for me... Probably the next one I'll get will be that one though... By now I hope the Sayl from HM will be enough for me and of course is a lot better of where I was sitting before...

                                          Is it comfortable? Do you like it beyond the "lot better"?
