Repetitive motion injuries?

watergal
15 years ago

I'm a professional interior landscaper, and I have tendinitis (specifically deQuervain's disease) in my right wrist from overuse. While I've been healing the right wrist over the last several weeks, the left one is having similar overuse issues, for which I am going to see the doc again.

I'm on leave from work right now and very impatient to get back to work. But I am also concerned that continuing to work in this way is going to leave me with permanent hand problems. I love my job, but it's not worth ruining my body for the rest of my life. I'm not really qualified to do much else. Help?
