Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome can become a problem if you are constantly performing the same tasks, most commonly on a keyboard. Constant bending of the wrists and the neck being turned seems to be the culprit to carpal tunnel syndrome. Symptoms can range from numbness and weakness in the hands to severe pain.
Trigger Finger
The formal name for “Trigger Finger” is stenosing tenosynovitis. Trigger finger is caused by swelling from inflammation of the tendon sheath around the flexor tendons. When you consistently grip, you can experience a locking sensation to any one of the fingers. Again, the symptoms can range anywhere from a locking or stiffening of the finger(s) to severe pain.
Raynaud’s Syndrome
Another problem associated with constant vibration and repetitive movement is White Finger, also known as Raynaud’s Syndrome. Professions that usually experience this problem can be people who type a lot, musicians and even machine operators.Tingling and loss of feeling and control are the main symptoms to be on the lookout for.
If you know you are at risk for any of the above-mentioned conditions or another type of repetitive injury, you may want to act preventatively and seek help. If symptoms are already starting to develop, you definitely need to seek treatment.
