A member asked:
My ring finger on my right hand started to feel slightly stiff and tingly after using a computer mouse for many hours with very little breaks. moving my fingers and hand around for about 20 minutes got rid of it. is this a disease or just inactivity?

I wouldn't call this a disease. It's considered an overuse syndrome related to a strain or sprain with no permanent damage.
