CTS

Your hand and wrist are in trouble if you continue working at the computer all day. It’s medically called CTS or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The pain is centered in your forearms and they sometimes feel numb. Does it mean that you need to see a surgeon soon? Hmmm, well, not necessarily… Surgery won’t fix the problem You just need to rest your hands regularly. Stay off the computer or limit your use to 20-minute sessions with 5-10 minute breaks. Use a keyboard tray or adjust your chair so the keyboard and mouse are below your elbows and your wrists are level.
