Overuse Syndrome: This is becoming the most common medical problem in the world. We overuse our arms, hands and fingers typing or keyboarding or mousing all day long. This receptive motion leads to pain, numbness and even weakness. Rest for one to two weeks is the standard of care. I tell my patients to move their mouse to the left hand for two weeks and to type differently. If this does not help then pt is next.
