OOS is a pain in the fingers

Midway through 2006, I developed some of the symptoms of OOS. That soreness and tingling feeling around my fingers from typing all those numbers into Excel.

I'll get straight to the point. More people should report their OOS or RSI or MTD, or more TLAs. When I first started, my job involved a lot of typing. I'm a fairly quick touch typist and use the number pad a significant amount of my time. After a while, I started to get some sensation in both my wrists and then it quickly spread to all my fingers. The feeling was stronger with on my right side. This had occurred before sporadically about five times a years on average. The past he use of my home computer but this time, the sensation did not go away by the next day. It is hard to describe this feeling. For me it was not painful, it didn't feel like pins and needles, and it didn't feel unbearably uncomfortable. So I went about my business, trying to ignore the warning signals my nerves were sending to my brain. Good thing I told my team leader and he got the OT onto it straight away. So now I try to do OOS exercises, but I usually forget. Now my arms, hands and fingers are feeling better.
