Hi,
Since I switched from normal shutter button with AF, to back button AF a few months ago, I have noticed a growing ache/pain in my right arm (Im left handed) - its got to the point now, where I can't straighten my right arm without shooting pains , especially around the elbow and - this is hard to explain "inside the arm" - I dont get pain from it being touched, its not swollen - but christ, it doesn't half hurt. It tends to get better a few days after a shoot but then when I do a shoot, its right back there, worse then previous - its got that bad that Im whinging to you lot! lol
Seriously, its really annoying and I dont want to go to the docs if I can help it (getting an appointment is a job on its own) - I'd rather not switch back to shutter button for AF as the back button AF is super-useful. At an event (commercial or public) Im taking between 1,000 and 3,000 shots in a day so I know the answer would be - stop using the back button focus - BUT, someone may have a tip to relieve it or prevent it another way.
Yours sincerely, Mr.Ouchy lol
