Amy,
I admit I'm not the most qualified person to answer this question but 
I'm wondering if you've tried or considered using JAWS on a Windows 10 
device which utilizes a touch screen. While I've not had a chance to try 
out this combination myself, later versions of JAWS take advantage of 
using a touchscreen with gestures which may or may not be easier on your 
arms.
