I've got pain in my right shoulder and lower arm. Very annoying.
I've moved my mouse to the left hand. Very slow.
Make sure Your elbow is resting on something. Not floating in the air like mine was.

The pain is like a headache or if You hit a knee. Avoid it. Can't play computer now. Damn.
You have been warned :)

Sorry to hear Freke. :( Excercise might do you a great favour due the the former static load but i'm no doctor.
The only thing i suffer from excessive computeruse is some strange mirrored letters in squares on my forehead. Usually accompanied with a need to reformat the computer. I cannot remember when the thing happened though... :shock:

If I'm at the computer too long I get a pain in the backside.

But I think it's in connection with someone's foot.

:shutter
