My doctors say I have R.S.I. Yesterday I went to see a plastic surgeon, and he showed me my xrays, and told me I have Carpo Metacarpal Osteoarthritis, which I probably had for a number of years, but using the dividers has probably brought on the pain and swelling, as I have to use my thumb and index fingers to grip them. My union lawyers are now looking into it for me, as I have lost about 4 months wages so far, and do not get paid when I am off,. Also my company has not sent any R.I.D.D.O.R. reports to the H & S Executive regarding myself, or any other workers being of with back & arm pains, and hernia's,u.l.d.'s, etc,etc. Best Regards. John.

They also have a very good understanding of RSI and other upper mobility problems since most of their trainers are RSI victims themselves. Regards Julie Hi Tim,
