anyone with carpal tunnel symptom that has used this mouse and found relief?
186649
I didn't have diagnosed carpal tunnel but I felt like my symptoms told me I was on my way. This is why I got this mouse. So, yes, this mouse helped me find relief with the pain I was experiencing in my wrist. For me, as much as I tried to get my desk ergonomically adjusted, my wrist still would fatigue. That was because I would put so much weight on my wrist while using a standard mouse. This mouse moved the placed weight away from my wrist (Distal radio-ulna joint) and towards my forearm (midday down the Ulna bone).Either way, I had a cool office conversation starter. I even made converts of two other coworkers to get the same style of mouse. I didn't have diagnosed carpal tunnel but I felt like my symptoms told me I was on my way. This is why I got this mouse.

Yes I did! While I wasn't ever officially diagnosed by a doctor, had every single symptom possible. I had been having problems for something like 8-10 weeks, and tried all different kinds of braces, was wearing them almost 24 hours a day. Bought this mouse and no joke, within a week symptoms started clearing up, within 2 weeks completely gone. If I don't use this mouse, I can start to feel the telltale tingling and cramping within an hour of using a regular mouse. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely. Had hand and wrist pain daily from mouse use/clicking and have been using it for about a month now and haven't had any mouse-use pain for a while now.

Sorry for the late answer. Yes it has reduced my symptoms greatly after using it for 3 months or so. Keep in mind we are all different what works for one may not work for others. This is not a cure all if you already have severe damage then surgery might be what you need. The pain gradually went away as I used this mouse more each day to the point now that its the only mouse I use. I takes a bit getting used to but it was all well worth it for me. If you require additional information on the mouse in general please let me know. Good luck...be well.

I had carpal tunnel symptoms and shoulder pain. This mouse and a keyboard with the 10 - key pad on the left made a great difference. Three coworkers now have this mouse and also had relief.

I had tendonitis instead, and yes instant relief as I was not able to place the hand over the mouse. Keep in consideration that this mouse will not work on all surfaces. Also, I noted a small pain on my shoulder as the movement is not the same

Yes, I have had pain in my right hand and wrist that has been increasing for the past three years. Before I found the Evoluent mouse, I tried just using my regular mouse with my left hand, but eventually I starting having pain in both hands from regular mouse use. I have been using the Evoluent mouse for a little over a month, and it has made a noticeable difference. Now, I do not have pain in my hands unless I use a computer without my Evoluent mouse and have to revert to a regular mouse or touchpad.

I suffer from undiagnosed wrist pain and normal mice aggravate it. I can use this mouse all day with no pain. Though I do prefer to keep my hands on the keyboard and I recommend that you do that too if you can, assuming that you have a good keyboard and ergonomic setup.

Have not had a problem at all. I use this mouse for shooter games, I would have noticed that problem immediately and would have returned it.

I bought this mouse on the advice of an ergonomic specialist because I was having pain in the tendons of my fore finger that was radiating into my wrist. She explained that the "flat" position that we exercise when using a traditional mouse is actually flexing the wrist and putting pressure on the tendons of that fore finger. This mouse rotates the wrist into a neutral position, taking the pressure off. I found relief almost immediately after I started using the mouse.

Same with me on my PC. When I use this mouse, I lose my wifi. I unplug the mouse - wifi connects. Plug in the mouse - wifi disconnects ...

Good god no- this mouse gave me De Quervain's tenosynovitis (also known as Blackberry thumb). Loved the mouse, but it basically crippled me. Waiting to see a surgeon to have it fixed..

I'm not sure about bringing relief. To me its just like a regular mouse but its turned on its side. This puts less pressure on your wrist. This is the only product I have purchased from wowjoy. I must say that I love the product though.

Very interesting. My former computer developed the same symptoms which is why I purchased the Aspire. Many told me I was touching the touchpad, but it still happened when I was alert and very cautious. It seems this problem is not unique but written up on the net. Google "jumping cursor problem." There is also a freeware program called, "Touch Freeze," which I found works, but not reliably. Hope this contributes toward a solution, JB

I have not had this problem with my mouse. My mouse has worked for a long time.

I have not found any relief from my pain. Maybe my pain has been with me too long. I had been in pain for 12 years. Nerve was compressed in my neck going down my arm. Stupid doctors couldn't find out what was wrong. I still take it though hoping it will start to work. I have been taking for about 2 weeks.

I haven't. The only issue I have experienced with this mouse is horizontal scrolling using the mouse wheel. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I haven't been able to figure out why. Vertical scrolling has always worked for me.

Yes. I am an IT support person as my job. I have used the smaller one for over 12 years. I recommend this mouse for all of my end-users that are seeking an ergonomic mouse. I recently purchased the large one for a female that had come to my workstation and she tried my small one and it was too small. I ordered her the larger one and it was just fine. There is a small time frame of learning curve, but once you acclimate to its use, you will find no more pain from mousing.

Hi, I don't know for sure. I know I didn't have any problems using my mouse with it at all. I wish I could tell you more, I also wear it when I do the crossword puzzle in the paper everyday, and it doesn't seem to bother me at all. I hope this helps some. Maggie

It's comfortable depending on how you have it placed. It's not solid rubber it's like a sponge kind of but there is no wrist rest so it possibly won't prevent carpal tunnel. Hope this answered your questions and concerns.

I doubt it but then I am not a Dr. I would guess your carpal tunnel might be the problem. Maybe a chiropractor could relieve it.

Yes, I bought this in spite of the problems because of my carpal tunnel problem. Any regular mouse hurts and this pad hurts much less. I hope that helps you.

I would take a gamble on it and try it. I am AMAZED at this little gadget. I just bought two more , one for me to keep at the shop and one for my assistant. She is freaked out by how well it works for her too. I get pain in my fingers and numbness in my hand. It totally relieves it all. Try it!
