>>In fact, ergonomics is a big issue. I spent serious dollars a couple of years ago for furniture and then had a good friend who is a physical therapist help me configure it right. Major issues include having elbows sit on arm rests at the right height as well as having wrists supported.

>Could you make a remote diagnosis and save me a trip to the doctor? My right forearm on the right side near the elbow has been very sore for the past couple of months. I'm thinking it could be the amount of mousing I do every day, and the fact that I'm on 3 or 4 different systems throughout the day.

>You mentioned resting the elbows on the table and supporting the wrist. What do you mean by supporting the wrist? Any online ergo info you would recommend?


I had a problem with my elbow several months ago. Turned out I was "reaching" too far for my mouse. Moved my mouse pad about 2-3 inches closer to the edge of my keyboard (after clearing enough crap off my desk) and the pain went away.
