stickymedia: It could be carpal tunnel syndrome. It's from repetitive motion. Hairdressers can get it from using the scissors so much, typists get it, kids playing video games, and sporting activities can cause it. Sometimes it needs to be operated on to release the pressure on the nerve. You can buy a wrist rest to help rest your hand on while you're typing. It keeps your hands in a better positon. Keeping your keyboard at an angle is the worst thing for it. The keyboard needs to be flat. There is also a splint-type ace bandage thing that you can wear to bed. It has a metal bar inside it to keep your wrist stabilized. I wear it to bed myself. You can buy it at a drugstore. Good luck.
