Has anyone else experienced sore/numb hands after working long hours?

I complained about my "sore" hands to an engineer friend last week. He told me his hands have been sore for years. A dozen other tech friends confirmed they experience sore/numb hands during the week.

“In simple medical terms, repetitive strain injury (RSI) is defined as a cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) stemming from prolonged repetitive, forceful, or awkward hand movements.” Carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and gamer's thumb are forms of RSI. https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~cscott/rsi.html
