It's a little depressing to see how common this problem seems to be. I too have pains in the back of my hand from mousing and tennis elbow from a hard game a couple years ago. They're both connected and overdoing one hurts the other. I sometimes use the mouse with my left hand when it gets too bad. Recently, however, we bought an ergonomic mouse, the Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer. It helps because you can rest you can rest your index and middle finger and still push the buttons, rather than having to lift (and stress) them to push the buttons. It's only for right handed use though.
I also have noticed that general resistance workouts seems to help. Also it feels great to have my husband give me a hand rub - it's better than a back rub! Jean, I'll try your suggestions as I also have bad posture. I've tried various herbal remedies, both pills and lotions, which haven't seemed to help. I'm in the process of setting up an appt. with a therapist to learn exercises for my elbow and hand, and reduce my most recent elbow inflammation. Perhaps I could also compare notes with you, Denise, after that?
