Seriously bad pain that can extend from the shoulder to the wrist, though the injury is to the elbow!. This complaint is far more serious and painful than most people can imagine - sorry I hate to sound so depressing, but I was diagnosed with RSI quite recently, was off work for several weeks, had to have physiotherapy, strong pain killers and wear a wrist support and elbow brace, on my return to work!. My arm just 'froze' in work one day and the only way I could 'unlock' it was to pull it with my good arm - not recommended! If you think you could have RSI you must consult a doctor 'NOW'!. If RSI is left unattended for too long it can cause permanent disability!. The Carpel Tunnel is where the pain spreads, it is milder at the start and just gets worse it is often given the term tennis elbow!. The news gets worse because not only is it caused by repetitive strain, the problem itself is repetitive!
I do hope that a doctor rules this condition out for you!. Whilst compensation claims are often made against employers for RSI it is very difficult to prove liability and not many claims are awarded!. I hope this is of use to you, there are some good medical reference works freely available on the net that would give you a more scientific outline!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
