RSI Hurts
Saturday, April 02, 2005
  How it Feels in the Morning On most days, when I wake up, my hands are cold. They have this exhausted feeling similar to when you have been sitting on a plane for a long time and your legs feel uncomfortable.

When I wake up, my hands are also curled up a little. They are cupped around nothing, as if they had been typing on an imaginary keyboard all through the night.

Sometimes it hurts more in the morning than it did the previous day while I was typing and using the mouse. I guess sleeping gives the muscles a little time to settle and to realize that they need to send me pain signals. Those muscles just don't want to be used anymore.

Unfortunately, I am a computer programmer and am drawn to computers like a moth to a flame. Fortunately, I am only working part-time now.

A blog (weblog) about my firsthand experiences with RSI. RSI is short for repetitive strain injury and is sometimes interchangeable with the term "carpal tunnel".
