Ergonomics for my mouse...getting wrist pain

Hazys

Not too sure this is the right forum, hopefully a mod can move it if this isnt the appropriate place.

Lately my right wrist (the wrist i use my mouse with) is killing me when i go to the gym (could be how i lift weights but i doubt it since its only the right wrist). I work 8hrs a day at my computer.

I have read upon ergonomics before and i know i have a bad set up, partly because i'm tall and my desk is set pretty low. So i slouch in my chair to keep the monitors at eye line. I rest my right elbow on my chair arm rest which is about an inch lower than the table. So basically to put my hand on the top of my mouse my wrist is about 2 inches higher than my elbow.

Does anybody have any good links/recomendations on ergonomics for the wrist or can recomend any good mouse mats?

Thanks.

not sure if this is going to be help or hindrance as it will raise your wrist more

Prop up your monitors with paper reams or thick books to raise the height. Ideally you should have the centre of the screen at eye level. Get your desk raised if possible.

For the RSI/Carpel Tunnel there a load of options. The only one I have ever seen address and fix the problem are the sideways mice. Link to one below.
