This can lead to the development of repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and tennis or golfers elbow. Preventing a repetitive injury is definitely better than cure.

If you are using a computer regularly you should take time to adjust your workspace to fit your body. The key points to remember when trying to prevent a repetitive strain injury are:

If this problem persists you should consult with your doctor. |
