Repetitive Use Injuries & Repetitive Stress Disorder

Atlanta Worker's Compensation Lawyer

Working takes a toll on your body. Different jobs present different stresses and physical challenges. Even jobs that don't require heavy lifting can cause serious disability when repetitious motion strains and damages nerves and tendons.

Repetitive stress can show up in several types of disabling workplace injuries:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome
• Tendonitis in the arms or shoulders, often from repeat lifting
• Bursitis of the elbow or knee from overuse
• "Tennis" elbow in workers who use their hands and arms a lot, like painters, carpenters, plumbers, and gardeners
• Vibrating white finger, from repeat exposure to cold or vibrations from heavy equipment often used in construction

There does not have to be one particular incident that caused your pain. With repetitive motion injuries, the problem develops over time.

If you are suffering tingling, pain, pinching, or burning sensations, or pain lifting or moving in a repetitive manner, do not ignore these symptoms or think they will go away with time. Repetitive motion injuries will only get worse with time.

See a medical doctor for a correct diagnoses and then talk with an experienced workers' compensation attorney.
