Do you think you may have "carpal tunnel"?

[raccoon]

I put it in quotes because that's all the MSM ever talks about. There's a hell of a lot more to be concerned about than carpal tunnel.

Ever heard of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)? Read up on it, especially if you think you have carpal tunnel. Now some people really do have carpal tunnel, but lots of times it's other RSI's they have, such as tendinitis.

RSI got me some years ago, when I'd never heard of it.

If you acquire it, good luck getting a doctor to say it was caused by work.

Take care of yourself, because, IME, if you get it, you're going to have mucho problems....

1. One of my coworkers has something that is considered a

repetitive motion injury. And yes, the doctor DID say it was DEFINITELY work related (from excessive pipetting in the lab). She no longer works in the lab due to doctor's orders...
She is in a lot of pain sometimes from it, I would say to those who have it, whether its carpal tunnel or RSI is really not a big difference...

2. Yes, I have been diagnosed with it.

It's a nuisance at times, but I can deal with it. I'm not familiar with RSI, but will look it up. Thanks for the information.

3. Yes. I have two carpal tunnels.
