Its the right or left index finger (depending if you are a right handed or a left handed person) its the finger which you use to click the mouse or scroll on a mouse pad that gets stressed and also ergonomically speaking overworked when you use a mouse.

It is a great stress reliever, i do it all the time.  Maybe too often, in that case not so healthy ( i'll prolly get carpal tunnel from doing it so much).

there is either a pad where you slide your finger across\nor \na little ball knob thing which is controlled through pressure and direction of one finger pressing it.\nYOU CAN allways hook up a mouse through USB port

1.  It uses a different set of muscles in the hand so if you're currently using a standard optical mouse and you're sore, switching would help.\n2.  Some people are more efficient with their thumbs.\n3.  The base of the tracker ball never moves so a mouse pad wouldn't have to be utilized.

1.- Optical mice are very sensitive to the material upon which they sit: make sure you are using an optical mousepad or other surface that is optical friendly \n\n2.- You might also want to check the sensitivity that you have selected for your mouse in the Windows XP Control Panel area. Choose Start -> Control Panel -> Mouse then go to the Pointer Options tab and see if any of those settings affect the behavior you're seeing.

Let me guess... you have a touchpad below the keyboard of your laptop.  Usually the cause is that you are accidently bumping the touchpad, and it causes the cursor to jump.\n\nGo into the Control Panel and click on the Mouse icon.  Normally there will be a way to adjust the sensitivity and other settings for the touchpad so that it will make it harder to accidently bump it.  If you use an external mouse, you can disable the touchpad if you want.\n\nIf you disable the touchpad, and the cursor still keeps jumping, you may have a short under the keyboard or palm rest.  (Very common in certain Dell laptop models).  You might have to have the keyboard and palmrest (holds the touchpad) replaced.

As someone who types a lot I know it's important to warm up those little fingers. I found this website that might be helpful. Also, it's important to strengthen your wrists too.\n\nThe second one has exercises with putty. Great for strengthening your fingers for those long! days.

you might have a conflict between the mouse and another computer component.\n\nThe most common conflict is with the modem, so in case you are not using the modem, (most likely) try taking it off.\n\nyou can go to the control panel and under system, hadware,devices, look for the mouse and check if it has a conflict with any other hardware.

It is an impulsive reaction to apply pressure. Whether it is by squeezing your finger with your other hand to easy the nerve endings or to suck on it to ease the pain. I have never seen anyone not smash their fingers or toes and not want to apply pressure to the area.

I had pain in my wrist and it was resolved by getting a gel mouse pad and one for my keyboard.  It worked like a charm for me.\n\nWhen it gives me problems now (very very occaionally if I'm doing a great deal of typing or clicking) I just stretch the tendons and muscles every once in a while.\n\nAlso, learn all of the short cut keys and use your mouse as little as possible. These are the most common.\n\nESC = Close Dialog\nALT-F4 = Close Window\nALT-TAB = Switch Applications\nCTRL-TAB = Switch Windows within an Application\nCTRL-F = Find\nCTRL-H = Find and Replace (or CTRL-R)\nCTRL-S = Save\nCTRL-O = Open\nCTRL-N = New\nCTRL-C = Copy\nCTRL-X = Cut\nCTRY-V = Paste\nCTRL-Z = Undo\nCTRL-Y = Redo\nWindows-E = Explorer\nWindows-D = Show Desktop

Do you spend a lot of time on the computer typing? You could have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. See info below from site noted in sources:\n\n"Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, a narrow confined space. Since the median nerve provides sensory and motor functions to the thumb and three middle fingers, many symptoms may result.\nWhat causes carpal tunnel syndrome?\n\nMost cases of carpal tunnel syndrome have no specific cause, although any/all of the following may serve as a contributing factor:\n\n    * frequent, repetitive, small movements with the hands (such as with typing or using a keyboard)\n\n    * frequent, repetitive, grasping movements with the hands (such as with sports and certain physical activities)\n\n    * joint or bone disease (i.e., arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)\n\n    * hormonal or metabolic changes (i.e., menopause, pregnancy, thyroid imbalance)\n\n    * changes in blood-sugar levels (may be seen with type 2 diabetes)\n\n    * other conditions or injuries of the wrist (i.e., strain, sprain, dislocation, break, or swelling and inflammation)\n\nWhat are the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?\n\nThe following are the most common symptoms for carpal tunnel syndrome. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:\n\n    * difficulty making a fist\n\n    * difficulty gripping objects with the hand(s)\n\n    * pain and/or numbness in the hand(s)\n\n    * "pins and needles" feeling in the fingers\n\n    * swollen feeling in the fingers\n\n    * burning or tingling in the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers\n\nThe symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis."\n\nThere are a lot more sites listed ... Google it.

Call Ghost Busters!  Seriously though, that happened to me when I was using a hard mouse pad.  Try using a softer one.  It could be that when you are typing that simple action is causing the mouse to move the slightest bit if the pad is a hard one or you are not using a mouse pad at all.

You can purchase appendage/braces at your pharmacy that you wear at night; you should also get an ergonomic keyboard and try wearing them while using the computer.  There are hundreds of different brands out there for them, I went with "Ace" and after a few months my fingers do not feel numb and I do not generate any wrist pains.

it sounds similar to carpal tunnel, do you use computers a lot or do a  job with ripetitive movements of your wrist? see the doctor because the earliest it is caught the better the treatment process before too much damage to the nerve is done.

I sounds like static electricity.\n\nLeave the  mouse, lick the tip of your finger and slowly touch the pointer before it moves, you might get a little shock but you'll get all the energy out of it and it should stop its nonsense.

Depends on what the problem is......\n\nIt could simple be disabled...... if so, go into control panel then mouse properties and enable it.\n\nIt could be that it is broken......... if so seek professional tech support
