When to Report Pain?
Stay in the Zone
Pain lasts longer than 3-5 days
Pain is severe or getting worse rather than better
Your joint motion is limited
Keep the work below shoulders and above
knees. Hint: use ladders, adjust work tables
Keep your elbows as close to your side as
possible. Hint: move body instead of arm.
If you are uncomfortable, stop and adjust or
take a hand break
Keep your wrist in a neutral position by
changing your body position or how you
hold the tool.
Move close to an object rather than reach.
Why is Early Reporting so Important?
The earlier that signs and symptoms of MSD
injury/illness are reported, the easier it is to treat and
manage. The key to recovery from these injuries is
early treatment and changing the root cause.
It can mean less time away from activities, fewer trips to
a health care provider, and avoidance of surgery or
other complex medical procedures.
Use the athlete approach: Rest, Ice, Compression,
Elevate if you do have temporary pain.
