This story was written in January 2004, and was sent to a rapid recovery news-group. It has been updated in June 2006. My name is Ailsa and I am currently 42.

The critical symptoms were an upper leg that ...

Hi everyone, I've been feeling great for a long time but I told myself that I would wait until Christmas to post (just to make sure it was long lasting relief). Here is my story and I made it detailed for the benefit of others with RSI type pain: I started a new job in August '06 and it was a big change for me.

FROM WEEDY GARDEN.NET Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) and I are long-time enemies. For me, it manifests as pain from the wrist of my right hand moving up to near the elbow. This started my senior year of college. Near the end of graduation I picked up my first ergonomic keyboard (an Adesso model) that followed me to my first post-college job as an audio engineer. Since those early days I’ve tried a half-doze ...

The relationship between a carpal tunnel problem and a repetitive strain injury (RSI) is tricky. You may have a carpal tunnel symptom but mistake it for the results of straining your arm.

And to complicate matters ...
