Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)

Symptoms of Repetitive Strain Injury depend on what the repetitive actions are. In most cases the symptoms develop in an arm, wrist or hand as these parts of the body most commonly do repetitive tasks. Perhaps the most famous RSI condition is 'writers cramp'. In recent years it is computer operators, typists, musicians and people doing repetitive tasks in factories who most commonly develop RSI. People who do a lot of DIY around the house may develop RSI, or people who do certain sports which involve repetitive movements.

What are the symptoms of repetitive strain injury?

Symptoms can include: pain, tightness, dull ache, throbbing, numbness, or tingling in the affected area. The symptoms tend to develop gradually. At first the symptoms may only occur whilst you do the repetitive task and ease off when you rest. In time the symptoms can be present all the time, but tend to be made worse by doing the repetitive task. Symptoms can range from mild to severe.
