Look for a mousemat with a wrist rest built in, preferably adjustable. Get a keyboard rest, too. Take regular breaks and shake your arms and hands out. Make sure there are no drafts around your workspace, and that your workspace is big enough to mouse without hunching up. I like to rest my forearms on the desk and push my keyboard, mouse and monitor back, but some people prefer arm rests - invest in a good ergonomic chair. (This will also help prevent back strain.)

I also use some of those support tubigrip bandages when the pain is particularly severe, and they seem to help. Plus my doc has got me on Diclofenac.

If you're only getting tingling now, don't let it get any worse. Because when the pain starts, you'll really know it, trust me!
