Given the liability of any suggestion I think your doctor is the best person to answer this.

Actually I am not asking ones opinion to use a PC mouse. I am simply looking for a PC mouse that is touch sensitive so I do not need to use extra pressure on the finger and does not need a doctor's recommendation. In using the current mouse the pain actually increases. I have also reduced the time using the computer at least by 50%. I apologise if the previous posting was not clear as to what I need.

What some use and seem to have good luck with is a side ball mouse. There are a few manufacturers who make these but the preference seemed to be, as I recall units made by Logitech. You should be able to find these at major box stores or online sites such as Newegg.com.
