Default Re: Wrist/arm pain

I had this problem after my first 3-4 months of fulltime poker. I researched all kinds of gloves, braces, etc, but while I deciding what to buy, I took someone's advice of placing my whole arm from the elbow on the desk so that my wrist was straight, and it took away 98% of my pain. Only occassionally do I feel any soreness in my wrist anymore.

To accomplish having my arm laying on my desk, my normal mouse area is about 1.5 feet from the edge of the desk, further away than the keyboard, so that I am reaching forward and my elbow is resting near the edge of the desk.
