How To Prevent Repetitive Strain Injuries

By Rey Vetangelo


Any person who participated in sports as a kid or who continues to lead an active lifestyle is familiar with the danger of repetitive strain injuries (RSI), more commonly known as stress or hairline fractures. Different from compound fractures typically due to an abrupt force applied to the bone, these fractures develop over time due to repetitive motion and frequent stress on the bone.

Anyone who knows anything about pancreatic cancer knows that it is often terminable. He was often given a percent chance of being able to recover and it was never about 20%.

This type of injury can be difficult to diagnose at the beginning. Frequently the affected area merely becomes tender and sore during use and can be mistaken for muscle soreness. As time passes and the injury worsens with repetitive use, pain becomes chronic and can eventually cause an individual to have to rely on heavy medication to handle the pain.

Diagnosing a stress fracture requires a visit to your physician. These fractures are often quite small (they're called hairline for a reason) and difficult to locate with precision. Most fractures of this nature are not visible with a simple x-ray and must be examined by a CT scan, an MRI, or a 3-phase bone scan.

Another important thing to do as you care for your sick child is to help them to stay hydrated and as healthy as possible. This can include helping them drink water and juice for hydration, and eating foods that are easy on healing bodies, such as broth-y soups, and popsicles.

When people have to make the decisions on what to do when they find out they have cancer it comes down to a number of different issues. You have to determine your financial situation.

If you need to, work with a trained professional to help you understand how to move your body in a way where you are using your muscles more than your bones.

Another thing to think about is the stress that this can possibly place on your family in the end. There are a lot of things that cause that stress. The first is that you most likely won't be able to work.

The science of ergonomics is based on the reconstruction of the workplace to better fit the physical limits of the human body. Something as simple as getting a brace or an ergonomic keyboard can make a huge difference in your healing process.

Keep weight off the injury and work to minimize additional stress due to overuse of the limb or joint that is affected. Do some research and find out about other resources and remedies that may be available to help your body heal. Ultimately stress fractures take time and patience to heal and return to full strength and capacity.
