Elbow pain.....any relief tips???

[6_Time_Momma]

Oh, man.....I am soooooo hurting in my elbow today. I am sure we are talking some kind of overusage strain/inflammation. I know the typical rest, anti-inflammatories, etc, but does anyone have any other tips? I am dying here!

How about wrapping it? Anyone??? Help!! I'm mousing with my left hand! Do you know how hard that is?? LOL!!

A few years ago, I broke my right arm and had to use my left hand to work the mouse. Very difficult to begin with but I actually got pretty good at doing it after a while.

I'm sorry you are in pain. Have you tried a heating pad? Heat might help a little.

....i was experiencing extremme pain in my elbow. The cause was from airbrushing too many hours a day(sometimes 10 hours) . I had to have surgery to relieve compression on a nerve. This was caused by repetitive motion(airbrushing) which over developed muscle in my arm which squeezed out the ulna nerve. OUCH!!! Man,it wicked hurt!!

If it is your normal mousing elbow and you have been on the computer a lot in the last couple days it is probably "mouse elbow" which is a lot like "tennis elbow". The treatment is the same, anti-inflammatory and rest of the elbow.

I 'left' mouse all the time (so I can run the calculator with the right hand at the same time.) If you make the changes on the mouse (in settings) it is still the index finger so the change from one hand to the next is not too bad.
