Don\\\'t forget to check your chair for proper ergonomics. It is cuts off your legs at the knee, your cutting off circulation. Elevate your feet as well. I only get this problem when I type at home as my station is not as ergo as it is at my station in-house.. check that chair and get up every hour or so and stretch..

I just started having the same problem with my legs last night and tonight. It is getting painful too! I never had this problem before.

Exercising at least 30 minutes/day will help. - No message

Those NRA Guys Sure Are SwellJun 18, 2015

Leg Pain When Doing TypingJan 25, 2011
Does anyone else get leg cramping/aching while they type?? I used to get them when I started and then it went away, but lately its been getting me again especially in my upper outer thigh. Its not so much an instant leg cramp sensation, just more of a achy feeling (like if you're on a plane) that does go away after I stand up.  Any suggestions?? ...

Typing RaceJul 04, 2010
Thanks to the person who mentioned "Typing Race" online as a way to increase typing speed. (Can't remember what forum.) It is so fun and addictive. Maybe I am just web-illiterate but I had never heard of it before. I am re-learning to type on a Dvorak keyboard, to help my carpal tunnel, and it was sort of (very?) discouraging to be reduced to slow, hesitant typing. But Typing Race is making it so much more fun. Sometimes you get matched up against the same people on different races and the ...

Okay, just had to vent.  Now I feel better (except that I'm only half finished and I've already got about 15 blanks).  I can deal with e ...

Question Regarding Any MT Having Right Shoulder Problems TypingJul 07, 2010
Hi all:  Has anyone had trouble with right shoulder hurting, burning type pain, tired, feeling like your arm is going to fall off and making right triceps weak after sitting at the computer so long.   I have been to doc twice, on pain pills, muscle relaxers, NSAID, hot tub for muscle soreness.  I have not been to the neurosurgeon yet.  I think it is a pinched nerve causing this as I searched symptoms on line and this is pretty close to what I am having.  Driving me ...

VR TipsMar 13, 2013
Does anybody have any ideas on how to improve my speed with VR?  It's supposed to be so terrible to take your hands off the keys, but we have to do that constantly to hit the arrow key, the control key, the delete key, etc.-- then when we need to make a correction, we have to put them back on, and I always put them back on in the wrong place.  It seems as if we need two extra hands.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks. ...

I Need Organizing TipsFeb 25, 2011
Has anybody out there gone from an office where paperwork is everywhere to a serene, organized work environment?  What changes did you make to bring this about?   I share a home office with my husband.  He lets paperwork pile up (medical stuff, school paperwork, as well as work-related - even junk mail sometimes, if he thinks there might be anything interesting in it) and things really get out of hand quickly in our office. I want to walk in and see everything put away with clear ...

Wrinkle TipsJan 17, 2015
Help, please!!  I am turning 40 this year and I have started getting the lines under my eyes and I hate them.  Does anyone know of any creams that I can buy that legitimately do help with face wrinkles.  I'm an MT, on an MT budget, so I'm talking Wal-Mart or pharmacy creams, not anything super expensive.  And, one more question.  Also facial makeup.  Anyone know a good base foundation that covers wrinkles really well?  Again, I'm talking Wal-Mar ...

I Am About To Frost My Hair. Any Tips?Nov 09, 2010
I actually have Loreal in a box but also went out a year ago and bought the individual products.  I finally have the nerve to do it as my hair is dull mouse brown and long - and now looking lifeless and bland.  I am 50 and want to enjoy long hair for a bit longer before I chop it off for convenience sake.   Should I make small streaks or bold. Wash it out fast or go for the sun streaked look.   I just wonder if you could tell me how to not screw it up.   Thank you. ...

I had wanted to respond to money-saving ideas but didn't get to it until the post was way, way down the screen! I go to the Goodwill or Salvation Army. These days, they're like regular shops. Everything is clean, not ripped or stained or anything. The ones by us have the racks color-coded---if you want a pink shirt, you go to the shirts and from there, the pink shirts are all in a row. If you need green pants, you go to where the pants are, and the green pants are all in a row. T ...

Any Tips On Finding Decent Doctor?Jul 08, 2010
Went to a new doc after many years of not going.  As I was speaking of a series of upsetting deaths and started to cry a tiny bit, he just kept clicking away on his lap top (and maybe nodded a couple times).  Aside from that, my TSH was in the normal range (but near one end) and no free T3 or T4 were done, but I have had numerous thyroid symptoms for 12 years or so (didn't realize they correlated for several years and never had it assessed).  He said my TSH was VERY normal so ...

Any Tips On Using Cold Water To Defrost A 17-pound Turkey?Nov 17, 2011
I usually buy fresh birds, but opted for the more budget-friendly 39-cents-per-pound rock-solid frozen version this time  This turkey will be cooked before Sunday (hving an erly get-together), so I don't quite have enough time to defrost it in the fridge.  The instructions suggest submersion in "cool" water in the sink for 30 minutes per pound, with frequent water changes.  It has air-tight vacuum sealed packaging.  I'm thinking that changing the wat ...

What Sitting At Desk All Day Does To UsAug 15, 2015
I bet I'm not the only MT who has near-debilitating pain in the "sitz bones," aka ischial tuberosity pain.  It's directly related to the fact that I sit all day long at my keyboard.  I've tried buying ergonomic chairs and expensive seat cushions, adjusting my desk, sitting up as straight as I can, all to no avail.  I've even had 2 rounds of corticosteroid injections in both ischial tuberosities, right and left.  Ahhhh.....the effects of the steroid injecti ...

Instead Of A Big Brown Box Sitting In The KitchenJan 21, 2015
I buy sweet potatoes by the box load, about 25 pounds at a time, also buy onions and oranges the same way at the farmer's market. Would anyone have any ideas about how to store the items instead of their being in the boxes like they are now, out in the kitchen? I have no storage space in my cabinets and where they are located now is like a cubby hole under a desk, not a movable one but one made into the countertop. Thanks for any ideas. ...

These 73 Sitting Democrats Voted To Ban Visas From Muslim CountriesFeb 02, 2017
Trump’s executive order is so modest that the foundation of it is essentially existing law. That law was passed unanimously by both bodies of Congress in 2002. In fact, it garnered the support of 16 Democrat senators and 57 Democrat House members who are still serving in their respective bodies! Following 9/11, Congress passed the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, which addressed many of the insecurities in our visa tracking system. The bill passed the House and Senate un ...
