I question whether they ever got the diagnosis right in the first place--my experience with what bothers me is *not* a matter of repetitive motions at all, but having to support my hands out horizontally for hours. It's just nobody does the latter without also engaging in repetitive motions with said hands. Trackball instead of mouse and a wrist rest so I can use the computer while my wrists are on solid surfaces and I've had absolutely zero issues since. Just as much motion, but not the ongoing muscle tension.

Unlike many other health related problems this could be easily addressed within one trip to the computer store.
