    Could be carpal tunnel or even, wait for it, washerwoman's syndrome.

    I spent 7 days in a plaster cast a few years back same thing - doctor said all from the bad positioning of the mouse and overuse.

    I shit you not.

        I think most of the people here will get it sooner or later, I don't think human fingers have been designed to work so much, and by the look of it by the time they create at least half-ass decent speech recognition software I'll be in my early 70s

          Get a trackball you won't have any wrist pain anymore, once you get used to them you will never want to use mouses again

              hopefully it keeps up to the point where it will be to painful so we will never have to see you post again?

                    back when i did mechanic work i had the same problem for grabbing wrenches all day. doctor should have a little brace that will go around your wrist that will help it.

                      I had awful wrist pain for months and months. Switched to a trackball, and within 2 months the pain was completely gone, and 3-4 years later it's still gone.

                      And, I use photoshop daily and don't have any problems using a trackball with it. Not sure where Oracle got that from.

                        I also have minor pain in wrist, i know its because of mouse.

                        Also, trackball guys .. I never used it, doesn't it transfer wrist work to finger? and so the finger or its base in hand start paining some day?

                              ya, sounds like capal tunnel to me too. I have pain in my wrist/elbow too. My elbow is prolly from an old fracture I had when I was 17, but my wrist/hand is from carpal tunnel. I wear a wrist brace sometimes and that helps alot.

                                            I did that too, it worked. Then one day my wrist was hurting so bad, I tossed the thing. It was pinching, putting too much pressure on my wrist from resting it there. It felt better without it for a while.

                                            Most important is your posture. Make sure your hips and spine are straight, and your arms comfortable height.

                                              and its always good to take a couple days away from the computer... that will help.

                                                  A few years ago I had the same thing and went to the doctor and was told I have golfer's elbow from using the mouse and keyboard. They gave me some shot into the bone (I will admit that this wasn't nice) and then it was fine. Since then I use those wrist rests and a raised keyboard and it hasn't repeated.
