Repetitive Strain Injury & Workers' Compensation: MRI follow-up
http://rsi-wc-california.blogspot.com/2008/10/mri-follow-up.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2008. In my previous post I wrote:. In the days since my MRI I have talked to several TOS sufferers and they have all told me unless I was making a football goal with my arms in the imaging process, the compression would not show. I just found out I wasn't being imaged to rule out TOS, they were looking for abnormalities other than compression in the thoracic outlet. And I would have had to been injected with dye and in a tube MRI machine for that kind of imaging. Posted by Arms Smith.

Repetitive Strain Injury & Workers' Compensation: Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement PE class
http://rsi-wc-california.blogspot.com/2008/10/feldenkrais-awareness-through-movement.html
Sunday, October 5, 2008. Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement PE class. I have the unique opportunity to take a college PE course on Moshe Feldenkrais' bodywork. (Please see wikipedia's page on Feldenkrais to get the full, accurate scoop.). So far I can tell you that it is guided sensory awareness with slow movement. To an outsider, it probably looks like a bizarre adult nap time since its a gymnasium full of us on mats (and many with blankets too! Do each movement w/ as little effort as possible.

Repetitive Strain Injury & Workers' Compensation: Let the AARP help you file your taxes (Hint)
http://rsi-wc-california.blogspot.com/2009/04/let-aarp-help-you-file-your-taxes-hint.html
Thursday, April 2, 2009. Let the AARP help you file your taxes (Hint). I was just beginning to get the swing of filing until I stopped working and began receiving income that wasn't earned. This is a whole new can of worms for me. My LTD payments came without estimated tax withholding. SDI did not issue me any sort of year end tax document. And WC? I got my taxes filed today. Took advantage of the fee tax help the AARP offers to disabled persons. I feel so relieved! Posted by Arms Smith. Its been a long ...

Repetitive Strain Injury & Workers' Compensation: Home Traction Exercise (for the neck)
http://rsi-wc-california.blogspot.com/2008/03/home-traction-exercise-for-neck.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Home Traction Exercise (for the neck). I have the Edgelow Protocol kit and had that type of PT, my therapist made me a "home neck traction" thing-a-majig and I love to use it (sometimes while listening to a meditation CD I got from the library). How it all comes together:. The pull for me is such a relief. I feel my neck elongate and the feeling of compression goes away. My PT said its ok to do this for as long as you want too!

Repetitive Strain Injury & Workers' Compensation: Products to stave off RSI symptoms
http://rsi-wc-california.blogspot.com/2008/11/products-to-stave-off-rsi-symptoms.html
Monday, November 10, 2008. Products to stave off RSI symptoms. Some products I endorse:. GO 24 Optical Air Mouse and Compact Keyboard Suite. The small keyboard is good for me because I was leaning to use the left side of the full keyboard AND it frees up the space where the number pad was so I can keep the mouse closer, making it more ergonomic. (UCLA has a great site devoted to ergonomics. Warm hands that can still work thru gloves are A in my book. Here's what it all looks like:. Posted by Arms Smith.

Thursday, March 19, 2009. Diagnosis= Funny, with the Adson's Test. (Something to lighten the spirits.). A while ago I was researching the various tell-tale tests that show vascular impingement related to TOS and other RSIs. I came across an Arabic. Site first for some reason in my Google image search for the Adson's test and I went ahead and fed the text into an online translator. And I about fell out laughing at number 2. 3 Processor requests from the patient to take a long breath and keeps it. Tests ar...
