Graphic Designers make sure to take your breaks while working! sitting at your desk ignoring the tingling and numbing feeling in your arm, hand or shoulder should not be ignored! Carpal Tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve running from your forearm into the hand is stressed and needs to be relaxed. Carpal tunnel syndome is caused by the compression of the key nerve in the wrist.
It is important to take breaks every hour or so that you are sitting at a desk and staring at the computer. I feel that I need to take breaks when my wrist starts to hurt and wanted to do research on carpal tunnel syndrome.
