good hand pain

I think I am using my good arm too much and my hand hurts. What do you do to prevent this?
Over use of the good arm/hand is an issue for all of us. It is important to take care of it as much as possible. When I sleep at night I normally lay with a pillow under my right side. It gives it a rest and takes some of the pressure off while I sleep.
While I am watching TV I will prop both arms up on a pillow.
When you start to feel the pain you know you have over done it so back off and take care of it.
