From Rudi Pertot
As a (right-handed) programmer of over 20 years, I have been using a mouse intensively for many years. In the mid 1990s, I found that I had developed extreme pain in my right arm and shoulder, to the extent that the pain never really left, even when I wasn’t using a mouse.
Faced with a career-ending condition, I started using the mouse with my left hand, hoping to extend my career by a few years before that arm gave out as well. To my pleasant surprise, I have found that my left arm did not suffer the same fate, and indeed I am still programming full-time with no problems.
