does any one get a numb?

Question

does any one get a sore hand by using the mouse all the time? or is it just me, no rude answers pleaseeee

Answer 1

Sometimes my hand gets a little sore but nothing real painful. I use a mouse pad with a gel rest for my wrist and it helps prevent stiffness and abuse to my hand.

Answer 2

Yes, I get a sore hand by using the mouse. I find that even if after an hour or so. I think its by having it in the same possition all the time is what makes it go numb. Just like your leg or foot would go numb.

Answer 3

I get this from the TV remote. Try using the other hand for a while; the range of motion when clicking is so limited that the muscles cramp up.
Try this: Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent so that your feet are flat on the floor. Link your fingers behind your neck, with your elbows resting on the floor each side of your head. Now, without sitting up or anything, raise your elbows so that they (nearly) meet over your chin. Repeat this about 10 times and rest. Do three or four sets of 10.
The tension that is causing the numbness is in your shoulders and neck. Your doctor should be able to provide exercise sheets for this.

Answer 4

Not just U take some breaks and if you get any pain on consistent basis C ur Dr for possible carpel tunnel. Also get a mouse pad with wrist pad that may help too. The numbness is poor circulation.

Answer 5

carpal tunnel syndrome maybe. keeping your hand in one place for a long time happens if you type alot also

About carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects about 1 in 100 people at some point in their life. Men and women of any age can develop it, but it is most common in women in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

Sometimes carpal tunnel syndrome is triggered by a person’s occupation, and can lead to the person being unable to work. Most cases of carpal tunnel syndrome can be prevented by stopping or reducing the activity that stresses the fingers, hand, or wrist, or by changing the way in which activities are done.

Where is the carpal tunnel?

The carpal tunnel is a channel in the palm side of the wrist (see diagram, below). The bones of the wrist are arranged in a semi-circle, and a tough ligament (the carpal ligament) forms a roof over them, creating a passageway (the carpal tunnel). Running through the carpal tunnel are the tendons that we use to bend the fingers and wrist, and the median nerve. This is one of two nerves that allow feeling in the hand. The median nerve also controls some of the muscles that move the thumb.

What causes carpal tunnel syndrome?

There is little room for expansion in the tunnel, so any swelling of the tissue in or around the carpal tunnel can press on the median nerve and cause the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Why does it happen?

Carpal tunnel syndrome may result from the tunnel walls being compressed, putting pressure on the nerve. Repeated wrist movements are often responsible for this. The movements may be related to a person’s job or hobby, such as typing, knitting or using small tools. People who use vibrating tools are particularly at risk.

The condition is more likely to develop if the wrist has been injured, after it has been broken, for example. The carpal tunnel may also be compressed through rheumatoid arthritis, or in a condition where excess growth hormone is produced (called acromegaly).

Another cause of carpal tunnel syndrome can be pressure within the tunnel, often due to fluid retention as a result of kidney failure, an underactive thyroid or during pregnancy. It can be caused by changes to the median nerve itself, too, which may happen with conditions such as diabetes.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in people who are very overweight, in women who are pregnant or taking the contraceptive pill, and during the menopause. In some people, it develops for no apparent reason.
