Need to reroll something that is easier on my hands, any ideas?

I can't spell repetitive

I ruined both wrists in a horse riding incident, both are really weak and get strained easily, I'm a 21 yo with the wrists of an old woman, have to get people to open bottletops and have walked into doors a few times as my wrists just crumpled.
It really is not worth straining them if there is a chance of hurting yourself, because it sucks bigtime.

Someone earlier mentioned making sure your seat posture and height is right, it really really does make a difference though it sounds stupid. That and wrist supports most likely will let you play normally with no problem, unless your playing like 12 hours a day, the movement itself should not be causing the pain unless your wrists are injured already, so if you can work out what is causing it, you may not have to make gaming changes.

I'm on a keyboard 100% of my day at work and most of the time at home, too. I have to say, ergonomic devices FTW.

I ususally end up turning my home keyboard (which is not the "split" version -- just a normal keyboard) at a angle like "\" since it's typically just my left hand typing on it. At work, this keyboard is my favorite and I've never had wrist issues with it. Turning my home keyboard at an angle emulates this sort of angle which is quite comfortable.

I also use a ergonomic mouse which has done WONDERS. I used to have major wrist strain using "gaming" mice with my right hand since my hands are much smaller than your typical gamer dude's. The ergonomic mice put your hand at an angle so that the heel of your palm is the only part resting on the desk/mousepad.

If worse comes to worse -- there's always foot pedals or the neural impulse actuator... lawl... Suvega actually ordered the NIA so we're going to see how it does.

Finally, there's a mod that lets you use your voice to play... but I'd imagine that'd get annoying if other people have to share the room with you

Thanks for the advice so far... as far as wrists, they are pretty solid from martial arts and exercise, no problems there. It's just the fingers, knuckle and middle joints on several fingers.

Hunters, mages and enhancement shammies are all 2-3 button classes if you stack up the macros right. Hunters are the easiest because you can just autoshot and between it and the pets things just die, even in instances.

On a related note, I used to have numbness problems in my left pinky/ring/middle fingers. What I found was that I had my main petattack and attack keys on my 2 and 3 keys, which was using my ring/middle fingers a lot. Since I switched my main attack buttons to G(main attack), H(melee/wand/etc.) and V(AoE), I haven't had any trouble. Some people just have different fingers that work well and some that don't. Find out which ones you can use OK and put your main attacks stacked up on a key with creative macros that mainly uses those "good" fingers and you should be golden.

Seriously, take a break from the game....its not worth your health. You can't "work through" a repetitive stress injury, it will only get worse, and eventually you'll need surgery.
