Many people have to use laptop or desktop for a long time in office work. Day after day long use of keyboard and mouse causes some pain, sometimes in the wrist, sometimes in the elbow, sometimes in the joint of shoulder and arm. Even the fingers hurt. If the pain is severe, taking painkillers temporarily relieves the pain, but does not solve the problem. What to do in this case?
appropriate posture
It is very important how far the laptop is placed on the table from the chair you are working on, at what angular distance it is placed with the eye sight. Proper sitting posture is necessary while working. Sit with your head straight. A wrong sitting posture can cause pain in the hands, shoulders and even the head.
the mouse
For those who have to use the mouse all day, choosing the right mouse is very important. There are different sizes and prices of mice in the market. You need to understand which one will be suitable for your hands. Some mouse is more flat, some is a little higher, which one is convenient to use. There are also mice that do not put too much pressure on the wrist.
the keyboard
According to the size of the laptop, the keyboard is also small and large. Typing on a small keyboard for hours on end increases the chance of hand pain. This is because the arm does not get a chance to stretch properly. Due to which there is pain in the joints of the fingers, shoulders and arms. In this case, working across a wide keyboard separately can be beneficial.
Elbow position
Prolonged elbow flexion while working on a laptop can lead to hand pain. Pain or problems arise from one person to another. In this case, you can work with the weight of the elbow on something.
Need a break
Take occasional breaks instead of continuous work. Take a short walk. Spread your arms and legs. You can exercise by turning your wrist. If there is pain in the palm, you can keep a soft ball. Even if you press it, the hand is exercised. However, if this does not work, you must consult a doctor. If the issue is avoided, the problem may worsen.
