REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY - A repetitive strain injury (RSI), sometimes referred to as repetitive stress injury, is a gradual buildup of damage to muscles, tendons, and nerves from repetitive motions. RSIs are common and may be caused by many different types of activities. Symptoms may begin gradually and then become constant and more intense. Even with initial treatment, symptoms may limit your ability to perform your usual activities.
Symptoms include:
- pain, ranging from mild to severe
- tenderness
- swelling
- stiffness
- tingling or numbness
- throbbing
- weakness
- sensitivity to cold or heat
