Facebook: How To Get Only Status Updates on Your FB Home Page
Or maybe it's because computer use promotes inactivity which caused me to become obese and that's how I got carpal! HA! That puts the computers back in the line of blame!
Then again, maybe not? :wink:

I have had chronic tendonitis in both forearms for more than a decade. My nerve and motor responses are normal, but I have pain. My first causative agent is lots of use of crutches between the ages of 8 and 25. There are soem poor ergonomic habits that you can get into when using crutches, to move faster, and carry things in your hands (and I've done all of them). Poor ergonomic habits with computer use are my second causative agent.
If I had gone into a profession that did not involve sitting at a computer, but did involve using the large muscles in the shoulders, arms, and back, I might have never had this tendonitis. But I have trouble imagining becoming a nurse and lifting patients while using crutches.
This is just an excuse to the so many diseases we have got.
