  1. I’ve got something called Repetitive Strain Injury. It’s effecting my typing. But I have help, and with the exercises etc., I should be ok.

    I just have to type much slower, with flat wrists. 

    As for modelling that’s  something which I will work on in due course. Strengthening exercises will hopefully help with that too.

    It will maybe be a couple of years before it gets better.

      I had it some years ago so I know what you're going through.

      Most people seem to use the keyboard's feet to prop it up at the back. I find this typing position uncomfortable then starts to become painful I pop them back in to make the keyboard flat & find it much more comfortable this way/

      When I did IT support, I got the impression that most people stood them up because 'they have been put there so it must be good to use them'.

       

      Find a position comfortable for you, although it sounds like it may be a little too late for this. Varying your position may also be helpful, just like you should regularly re-focus your eyes.

      Giving your wrists a gentle shake or stretch every few minutes should help too.

       

      I also have a chair with arms a similar height to my desk & find myself typing with my elbows rested on them.

      Thank you, everyone, for your kind and helpful comments, suggestions and thoughts. 

      I will be using your ideas and suggestions to help me out with this condition. 

      So thank you, I feel happier than I did knowing that people care.

       

      Rob.
