[Histonet] repetitive stress injury

[Michelle Perrins]

I was the only technologist who worked in a laboratory, so I was doing
everything!
I developed repetitive stress injury on my left wrist which got so bad
I had to go to the doctor (I had DeQuervains tendonitis). After a
cortisone injection and about 3 months rest of the hand, it helped
tremendously. I also had a removable plastic cast to restrict movement.
Luckily the work was done by another lab and I now have extra staff.
The pain only comes back if it gets very cold, otherwise my wrist is
fine now.
