Go to your Dr. and get a scrip for some prescription strength Diclofenac Sodium. ( Voltarin or Flameril ) You can get the weak dose over the counter, but it's not much cop if you're in absolute agony. http://www.osh.dol.govt.nz/order/catalogue/pdf/vdu-ac.pdf This is 60 Pages of very simply written illustrated prose so any fool can understand it. I mean you can give it to the most intellectually challenged boss, and they'll understand it, not that you would have difficulty understanding it. This will give you all the justification needed to get a decently designed work-station out of the firm. Mention of OSH to most firms turns them to jelly. In spite of all the excellent advise in there, I curl up in the corner of the couch with a lappie on my knee. Having the TrackPoint ( IBM's red mouse button whatsit between the G, B, and H keys on the keyboard ) has fixed all the mouse shoulder problems I used to have. > I see Noel Leeming has a $78 deal on a Genius Twintouch 16e.
