<font color='white'> I have a bit of a pain in my left wrist, well not dierectly in my wrist, about an inch and a half below my wrist. It doesnt really hurt unless I am moving my wrist or typing (like I am now :D ). I am wondering if its anything I should be worried about. It might just be a regular old bruise but I cant think of anytime recently that I hit it hard enough for it to bruise and there is no real marking. It may just be from exsesive typing or something. Or it could be I have a blood clot of some sort in my vain. :D ;) </font>

I regularly have pains in the wrist too. I believe it comes from my position when i sleep: sometimes i awake and my arm is under my breast. It's difficult to explain.
Try to see your position when you awake and when you fall asleep.

Probably a tendon or muscle you pulled. It could also be due to overuse, as you said, from to much typing. Nothing really to worry about. If you've got some oitment that you can use to treat musclepull, use that. If it isn't better in a few days, i'd suggest seeing you doctor about it.

I suggest seeing a doctor. Such cases usually doesn't amount to anything serious if they are treated properly.

If you spend too much time typing, it's possible you have repetitive strain injuury (RSI), you need to support your wrists when typing, or using a mouse,
you can buy silicone pads for this.

Yup... If it's indeed a symptom of RSI, it's best to take a rest from your computer every once and awhile. If you rest regularly and make sure you're sitting in a good typing position (table not too low or high, back straight, sitting right in front of your screen etc.), you should be able to deal with it in a reasonable way. If the pain persists however, it's like JR said best to see a doctor about it. But keep in mind that negligence when you've got RSI symptoms is an absolute nono! A little pain in your wrist may seem acceptable, but it could "spread" to other parts of your body (your back, for instance) if you ignore it for too long, up to a point you may even become unable to work at all. A visit to the doctor for some advice definitely won't hurt. ;)

Just out of interest, how old are you ?. ;)

Lanesra - I don't think you are in a position to comment on anyone's spelling. Did you mean that to be a 'winking' smiley?

What's your problem Lanesra - if you ignore the affourmentioned apostrophyical cataclysyms, it wasn't two bad in the spelling department. Besides, spelling is just not as simple as falling down an escalator you know.

well just for info on wrist pain and such, if they get tight when typing or go numb in your sleep (which is very painful!) no matter how old you are it could be carpal tunnel syndrome. it is important for those of us on comps all day to look for it and be sure it's not effecting us. i was diagnosed at 20 with it and i had symptoms as early as 17, so please don't tell me you have ot be old to have it. a gel support for the keyboard helps or even one of those funky keyboards where the letters are split down the middle, i forget what it's called but i hate them. so anyway that is what i have to say

Nothing to do with spelling, just an off the cuff remark.
