General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I carefully read your query and able to find your point of concern.

Don't worry there is no serious condition behind your pain.

I think it is due to malposition of hand and forearm for long time during computer work.

I advice you take rest in every 15 minutes.
Change your mouse to makes your hand position comfortable.
Associate that you can use a pain killer like ibupofen, ketorolac etc.
A muscle relaxant like Baclofen.

If no improvement occur then go to physiotherapist.

I think it will help you.
Wish your good health.
Regards
Dr. Atique
