“Does working a computer job lead to rheumatic diseases?”
I am a 20 year old who works a computer job. I was wondering does working a computer job lead to rheumatic diseases?

The most common “rheumatic disease” associated with computer use is carpal tunnel syndrome. Repeated typing can cause some swelling near the wrist which will press on the median nerve and will cause tingling and pain in the hand that may radiate up the arm. Treatment can span from wrist braces to medicines to surgical release. For more information go to the spine community.com
