I started to get RSI problems in my upper right arm, I'm pretty sure as a result of mouse usage.

I trained myself to be able to use a mouse in either hand, and now time-share between left and right. The symptoms cleared after about 4 or 5 months.

So in another 10 years i'll probably have 2 knackered arms instead of just the one...
