Dear Fellow Sequencers:
I am wondering if any of you are suffering pain in your fingers, hands,
wrists and arms? Do you experience numbness and weakness in the hands?
If you are, please answer (or ask yourself) the following questions!
How long have you been sequencing?
Does the pain and numbness increase when you are loading the gels?
What ergonomic measures are you doing to help alleviate the pain? i.e..
electronic pipetman or other gadgets
Have you been diagnosed with CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome)?
What treatments have been suggested to you and what are the outcomes of the
treatments?
I have been diagnosed with severe carpal tunnel syndrome and I want to know
if this is caused by my 6 years of sequencing.
Thank you for your information.
