Repetitive Strain Injury at Work
Articles in this section
Start with the definition. Cleveland Clinic describes the subject in one line. A repetitive strain injury is damage to your muscles, tendons or nerves caused by repetitive motions and constant use.
That line gives you one job. Name the motion you repeat at work. It matters most when your day in Wayne is built around the same movement.
Articles on this topic
Read the article that matches your motion.
- Wrist Tendonitis From Repeated Motion: name the motion that loads your wrist, then follow the steps for it.
The lower back has its own subject page too. If your pain sits there, three outside references are worth a read before an appointment: epidural steroid injections, a herniated disk in the lower back, and spinal stenosis. Treat them as questions to bring, not as a match for your case.
Directions from here
Write the motion down, note how many hours a day you repeat it, and mark when the pain shows up. Bring that note to a clinician in the Wayne area.
For general background on pain care, pain management information gives a broad starting point. Then pick the article for your motion from the list above.
