Sorry.
Mental glitch there, not sure what I was thinking. :-)
I havent had a doctor say it, but after a day at the office my arm is on fire... Hand hurts or is numb and the works. Come to think of it Im going home now...

As someone who use to suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (back when it was called "Repetition Strain Injury"), we were taugh some techniques on how to avoid the problem:
A proper ergomonic work environment. This means a chair that lets you sit in a good posture, a keyboard that is the right size and shape, correct positioning of the monitor and so on.
Rest breaks. Don't type non-stop for long periods. Have a short break - stand and stretch - walk around.
Learn to type correctly - the proper position with two hands, and using all of your fingers and thumbs.
These days, with all keyboards being well designed, and their being no excuse for management to to provide proper (that is - a safe) working environment for staff, there is no excuse for people using keyboard equipment to damage their bodies. Now if you are not sensible enough to have regular breaks from typing, then more fool you.
