Symptoms of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder
Indicators that you may be experiencing a WMSD include some of the following signs and symptoms:
- Tightness, discomfort, stiffness, soreness, or burning in the hands, wrists, fingers, forearms, or elbows
- Tingling, coldness, or numbness in the hands
- Clumsiness or loss of strength and coordination in the hands
- Pain that wakes you up at night
- Feeling a need to massage your hands, wrists, and arms
- Pain in the upper back, shoulders, or neck associated with computer use
Although these conditions may not necessarily lead to a WMSD, if experienced it is important to report signs and symptoms as early as possible to prevent serious injury or permanent damage. If you have made the recommended adjustments and continue to experience physical discomfort, please let us know.
