We will do our best, using this Web site and other resources, to let you know how to avoid injury. The following types of injuries are often associated with Repetitive Strain Injury. Muscle spasms in your shoulders cause the nerves that run down your arm to contrast and compress. AMT can be treated and reversed with physiotherapy. The nerves that run through your wrist into your fingers get trapped by the inflamed muscles around them.
Tendons can become inflamed through repeated tensing.
Eventually, the fibers of the tendon start separating, and can even break, leaving behind debris that induces more friction, more swelling, and more pain. The tendon sheath thickens and becomes inflamed when repetitive activity exceeds the sheath s ability to lubricate the tendon. As a result, the area around the sheath becomes tender and painful. This condition often results from combined forceful gripping and hand twisting. The nerves and vessels between the neck and shoulders compress from long periods of hunching or raising your shoulders.
