A member asked:
What would doctors recommend to help with repetitive strain injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short answer: 1) stop or significantly reduce/change the activity responsible. 2) surgery. Realize that surgery may cure it but if you continue the activity, the injury may recur. Everything else is a bandaid and may treat the injury but not "get rid of it.".
