Pain during long PC work - what to do in the job?

Ma

I have a pinched nerve in my elbow that I'm trying to heal. All areas are now painless, but after 3-4 hours of work (all laptops) my forearm almost falls off. What are the legal options theoretically? I haven't been on sick leave in the last 4 years and I don't see it as necessary now, but after 3-4 hours the load is currently too great.

Then talk to your employer that you get a real PC workstation with decent monitors, mouse and keyboard.

Google times "Cubital Tunnel Syndrome". Can (only) be remedied by surgery.

What hurts?

depending on

vertical mouse, standing desk, supportive chair

Ma

I have that.

Ma

I have cubital tunnel syndrome. That doesn't go away immediately… If at all

Ha

Then why don't you use that? A good ergonomic mouse and a reasonable keyboard alone can prevent a lot of damage.

Ma

No, it does not always have to be operated on. Depending on where it comes from.

Ha

Was this diagnosed by the doctor or is it an internet diagnosis?

Ma

The damage comes from somewhere else and I have a syndrome that doesn't go away overnight

Okay, I forgot: Then avoid resting your elbow on or near the "musician's bone", even when driving. This is where the nerve runs in the cubital tunnel.
