Re: "Tennis Elbow" in Librarians

[Gibbons - Deborah <dgibbons@UMD5.UMD.EDU>]

This is only my 7th year as a SLMS.  I have had problems for 4 years.  It
started in my elbows.  Tests showed no nerve damage.

I drop things sometimes and it is very noticeable when doing inventory-
picking up heavy books with my thumb and index finger.  The pain spread
through my wrist, etc.  I have arthritis now.  I take DayPro and
Prednisone because of hand swelling.  When I have a flair-up my
chiropractor works wonders.
