Got to Slow Down
For the last 2 years my right arm has been giving me trouble. A doctors once call it Ulnar neuropathy, but sometime I have my doubts. It's best described as numbness in my pinky and palm, accompanied by tingling in my forearm, which the occasional sharp pain in my wrist. Basically it sucks!Main thing I need to do when it flares up, like it has recently, is to stop touching my computer. But that is hard, especial for someone like me, who has made his computer an integral part of their lifestyle.
I have been trying to change my work-flow in an attempt to wear out some other part of my body, and therefore take the pressure off my arm. This morning I was so desparate to find something that might help, I slammed down $400 buck on a Wacom Intuos 2 9x12 graphics tablet. We'll see if this thing can help. But for now I'm trying to touch my computer less, which sucks cause I have clients to take care of.
