Recently I've been working full time coding and as I work first this means I've been doing a great deal of typing. In the evenings, with friends away at Uni again, I've been spending most of my time not watching Lost season 2 or doing housework on my computer. I've been doing some coding on the game Planetarion. (For those that are concerned it's not interfering with my full time job. :-))

However, I'm silently quite worried at the moment. I've already taken two break to stretch my hands at this point in the post. I can't type more than a sentence or a line of code without the chronic pain of RSI making me cringe. I've never really suffered from it before but what's brough it on mainly I think is the stressful rush at work I've got at the moment.

I've got this weekend with Rich and Andrew doing a re-run of the Alcohol Alphabet Challenge so I've got Friday evening to Monday morning without typing so I'll see how my hands are on Monday.

But the worried stems from people saying once RSI starts, it's there permanently. Not only would it interfere with the only thing I'm good enough at to earn a living but it means I can't do a set of washing and drying up without stopping due to the pain.

If it's something that's going to be a constant problem for me, couldn't my body have given me more than 3 months in full time employment before it gave up on me? I'm not in any emotional mood at the moment, so I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that if my hands stay like this, I can't be employed to productively do a fulltime job that involves the keyboard.
