    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.

    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|

              I believe more or less (which ever is appropriate) masturbation with said hand will fix that wrist right up.

                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 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...

                    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.

                              Hence I said more or less, depending on what had caused the issue in the first place.

                                  Mouse of keyboard caused? You can do a lot with shortcuts and not use the mouse so much. Sometimes I switch to my left hand with the mouse to give the right a break.

                                      Would it make more sense to get an accurate diagnosis (wrist pain) before recommending treatment (new chair). It sounds like the only tool HR has in their toolbox is a new chair. Would anybody troubleshoot code that way? First find out what the problem is, then start modifying the appropriate parameters. As a chiropractor I certainly love me some good chair talk but we need to make sure we are addressing the right issue. Could be neck, shoulder,elbow or wrist issue. May be related to work or some other activity (workouts,hobbies, etc). Troubleshooting FTW!

                                          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.

                                          Wristbrace. ElasticBand. A side table so you can rest your whole arm level with your wrist ... (carpal tunnel syndrome). (Check the level of your chair left-to-right).
