A member asked:
Can i get a repetitive motion injury from playing tennis for a few days for a little over an hour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Check out http://www.emedicinehealth.com/repetitive_motion_injuries/page3_em.htm & http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/repetitive-motion-injuries?page=2 for more info. Best to avoid any aggravating motions until pain resolves. RICE eg rest, ice, compression & elevation may help. If you're otherwise healthy, ask your parents/guardian about taking OTC pain reliever NSAIDs eg ibuprofen or naproxen.
