    This is off topic, but the only place I could think of that this should go.
    I own my own website design/graphic business, I am constantly typing emails, along with doing programming for some of the jobs that come through, because of this I apparently have developed some type of problem with my right forearm that doesnt hurt feels more like pulled muscles, its been like this off and on for a year, because I'm on the computer from about 8am to 11pm with a few breaks of time in between, I went to the DR they said tendanitis (sp?) anyway, this is my life and how I make my living so obviously I cannot full out stop, I'm looking for solutions especially because my main problem feels to be coming from my mouse, I am seeing if there are any other options out there aside from a reg logitech wireless mouse, anyone use a trackball?

    dont get me wrong I take breaks, but with constant strain on my forearm from gripping the mouse so often I need a solution or at least something to help.
