Thats the best description I can think of

lol

could be Repetitive strain or arthritis ,
Have you tried not being on your knees so much????

I don't think it's normal Hayley................could it be that Repetitive Stress thingy?

Then again.................can't imagine what you've been doing to your poor knees!?!

Off to google your symptoms.................be back soon:))

pmsl

or how about keeping off here for a while

** gets flags out ready **

Its never happened to me before, no.

Sometimes I wake up with a really bad headache, but my wrists are usually OK..

I'd say it was RSI, but you need to get it checked out hun, it could be arthritis..check your posture is correct at your desk too, your elbows shoudl be level with your wrists and your wrists should be resting on something.

A woman on her knees.............???

Not scrubbing the door step?

I remember that from years ago. also sitting on the outside ledge of the upstairs sash window ....window cleaning.....
turban and apron!!!!

Now Now Dawnie,The mind Boggles,Thoughts of Hayley on her knees worshiping her Computor.**M**.:o)>.pmsl.

I think it's your mouse causing it Hayley................googled and found

"Having a good mouse is paramount. A bad mouse can give you sore wrists, frustrating responses, and worse - a repetitive stress injury."

Its been a long time......anyone one joke about damp grass and thats it..lol
..at work I our desk have to check and we are measured by elf and saftee...I thought it was a joke...but at home I know I am hunched over...the chair isnt correct the desk isnt right...

On your knees, hunched over...............

Don't think we need to know anymore

It will be from putting wet change in your pocket

Right.........get to the shops Hayley and buy a new desk and chair..................vital for your health.

By the way.................you should do as TW suggests and get the GP to check you over.

whats this rewhatsitstressthingy?

repetitive strain injury Hayley, RSI, thats why elf and safty measured your desk etc, to make sure you are sitting right and don't get RSI


If you are constantly sitting in the wrong position, the strain on the muscles can become serious and very painful, even taking you off work for long periods.


Of course it could just be that you are sleeping in the damp patch.....

RSI usually manifests itself in late middle age.

It can be caused by many things, most commonly by excessive use of the wrist. One tip is to switch to drinking halfs instead of pints, to lower the weight loading on the ulnar joint.

Really...............limps ...off.....sobs my flouncing days are numbered.....

will I need an op.....

Are your nails too heavy for your dainty fingers Hayley???

Maybe you should cut them really short and see if that helps.
