On the Job Hazard

For the past couple of weeks, I've started to notice a dull pain in my right elbow. It has that long stretchy feel to the pain, which makes me thing it might be nerve-related. I've done a little research on the web  and I think it might be called Mouse Elbow.

The folks at EHow have suggestions on how to deal with Mouse Elbow. I'm thinking I'll be getting an ice pack and maybe a support strap on the elbow. Do any of you have thoughts on dealing with Mouse Elbow?

How to Treat Mouse Elbow

Step 1:
Apply ice to the elbow to reduce inflammation and ease pain. Apply it two to three times per day for 20 minutes each application.

Step 2:
Take anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen for a few days. Follow manufacturer directions on the label when taking over-the-counter medication.

Step 3:

Wear a strap or support often used to treat tennis elbow to rest the elbow until pain and stiffness subside.

Step 4:

Stretch the muscles of the lower arm to help relax the elbow. Stretching and strengthening the muscles that support and work the elbow can treat and prevent mouse elbow.

Step 5:

Rest. Take a break from the computer mouse for a few days. This stops the elbow from getting aggravated and gives it a chance to heal. Otherwise, the problem can worsen.
