Elbowing Through

My thanks to those of you who made suggestions about what to do about the case of "computer elbow" I developed. I've made some changes to my work environment, including the armrest and the angle of my keyboard, and things are getting a bit better. I'm also staying away from the keyboard a bit more in order to give my right arm a rest. We'll see if it it continues to improve.

One more thing to try is type while standing. When I had tendinitis, I was in pain if I was typing while sitting, but if I stood, I was fine. Luckily my firm was able to find me a standing desk. Later, when we remodelled, everyone got adjustable desks that could be raised high for standing or lowered for sitting.
