Right hand issues
Posted: 25 Mar 2017, 00:06
So I started as a guitarist where 90% of the work is done left handed. I began keys in the mid 80's and have gotten much more serious the past decade. I don't walk around a ton with my left hand on keys so my right-hand does more of the work.
Here's the issue: I work on computers most all day doing photshop, e-mails, orders etc. and the all day typing and mouse clicking (mainly) can give some hand cramps and just wear out the hands. The bummer is I get home and want to pound on the keys and I'm getting worried about possible physical issues and damage. I have switched over to a big track ball mouse that has helped and I also switch off to my mac notebook to vary things up but my hand and wrist feels tight often.
Any thoughts on this from other keyboardists who also do a lot of pounding on computer keys and mouses all day long?
