Yea, this may not exactly be the place to be asking this type of stuff, but as everyone here comes from a variety of different backgrounds and has different sets of knowledge...anyways, w/e. And apologizes for the block-o text.
Just recently, as in just after I came home from visiting my parents, I sat down at my pc, and noticed this faint pain in my right arm. Normally shit like this goes away in a few minutes, so I ignored it (well, I got some extra padding for my chair where my arm rests). But it persisted, and has gotten worse. Now, as I have no knowledge of the names of the bones in my arm, but I can describe fairly accurately where it hurts. Pretty much located just below the center joint in my arm. Take your left hand, and place it on your right arm just so the pinky (do I know the proper term for that finger? hell no, but this is obvious enough) finger is resting right on the knob of the joint, and there's the pain spot, right in the center of your hand. Normally I ignore minor pains while using the computer, as they crop up after long sessions, but damnit, I sat down just a few hours ago. It's not like I've some poor ergonomic position either, I had done my research into that stuff last year for college, and my mother's line of work deals with that, so I'm fairly versed in proper positions for computer work.
Nothing else hurts either, no pain in my left arm, nothing in either hands, just this persistent feeling of "ow I just slammed my arm into the wall right on the joint" pain. And no, I did not slam my arm into the wall. Currently it hurts regardless of whatever position I hold it in, but it goes into overdrive the moment I attempt to hold my mouse normally. And that sucks, because I am 95% right handed. The only thing my left hand can do it type on the left hand side of the keyboard, and mash the WASD keys during 1-st person shooters.
And after typing this my upper right arm feels little numb, which concerns me, and my arm hurts even more now, which is setting off warning bells in my brain.
Medical advice anyone?
