I have worked with computers as a web designer and developer for the last 5 years. I use a computer all day at work, and often for a few hours at night. Well I did until recently when I was struck with RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury).
After visiting a doctor and then a physiotherapist it turns out that I was developing the early stages of carpal tunnel syndrome. It all started one night when the fingers in my right hand went number and had pins-and-needles. The numbness went away to leave a burning ache in my elbow and shoulder. It all passed within a day and I put it down to sitting badly at my home computer that night.
