Pregnancy, because of fluid retention, can bring on repetitive motion  
injuries.

That could  also be tendonitis related to the "snuff" joint. It starts with 
a D.  Dequarveins or something, someone will know. I got it when I was 
pregnant with  my second child. There are exercises for strengthening that 
tendon.

I bought a big countertop jar opener a few  years back for the same reason, 
only we have very large jars that we can't  even get our little female 
hands around. The jar opener was supposed to open  all sizes, but it wasn't able 
to open either our large ones or our small ones.  Big waste! I hope you 
find something that works. Maybe one of us should invent  jars that are really 
airtight and still easy to  open!

I recently went to the doctor about pain in my thumb (joint  closest to the 
wrist) and was told it is arthritis and for opening jars I  should get one 
of those kitchen jar openers.  Either the under the  counter or a hand held 
one.

Has anyone experienced problems with the histotechnologists or  
Pathologist's Assistants developing wrist injuries from opening the small  specimen 
containers all day on the grossing bench?  If so, how did you  address this 
issue?  We have had occupational health assess the process;  there haven't been 
any suggestions yet.
