pressing keys, or staying in the same position for long periods of time, you may
experience fatigue and occasional discomfort. Take short, strategically spaced
rest breaks to avoid body fatigue. For example, stand up and walk around or
stretch for a few minutes every hour. If you experience persistent or recurrent
pain, ache, numbness, burning or stiffness you should promptly see a qualied
health care provider. These sensations may be caused by serious medical
conditions that can be treated.
