REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY OR UPPER LIMB DISORDER

Post by Stormproof »

I had Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, unfortunately its one of those things that you can't prove what caused it. It may of been carrying bundles out on delivery or inputing item details on the computer in Callers(which we have'nt got anymore). I had to have an op on my hand which has cured it for now.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I have recently been diagnosed with CTS and i believe it is through 8 hours of bag each day, ongoing with my GP at this moment.
