More than one million people in the U.S. each year are affected by repetitive stress injuries which can be very painful and prevent you from working.
Repetitive stress injuries develop if you are doing the same task using the same part of your body over and over again. This can then lead to inflammation of the tissues which makes it painful and hard to do your job. One example is those who are on computers all day long, using the keyboard which can lead to wrist problems due to repetitive stress. In a similar way, those who use vibrating tools such as a hammer drill can also suffer from this injury.
Repetitive stress injuries can have different names, depending where the injury is so it can be a rotator cuff syndrome if in the shoulder, tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist.
With a repetitive stress injury, there may be swelling, which can cause numbness and pain, along with difficulty performing daily tasks.
