Re: "Sonographer's Wrist" From: DuBose, Terry (DuboseTerryJ@exchange.uams.edu) Tue Aug 11 18:25:02 1998 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: DuBose, Terry: "Re: Perinatal statistics in YOUR country??" Previous message: DuBose, Terry: "Re: Treatment for oligohydramnios" Victoria, did you see the article in the JDMS dealing with this issue? It was about 6 months or so ago. I am going to forward your message to other lists, I know there are others who are looking at this issue. Peace, Terry J. DuBose, M.S., RDMS -- I just wanted to add a "me too" to the discussion of "Sonographer's Wrist". I've had pain in my right wrist for the past three or four years which is directly correlated with the amount and type of scanning I'm doing. It has been diagnosed as "de Quervaine's Syndrome", carpel tunnel syndrome, and tendonitis. I've also had a ganglion cyst in the right wrist joint...which comes and goes. (We scanned the cyst and it is a simple cyst associated with the tendon sheath). Has anyonr else had a ganglion cyst in the right wrist? The radiologists tell me it isn't realated to tendon inflammation or repetive stress injuries, but I wonder. I wear a wrist brace while scanning when the pain flares up. Immobilization of the joint grately reduces the pain, and helps me to learn not to use my wrist so much. Standing up while scanning, or making sure that my chair is not too low if sitting has a very beneficial effect. I would really hate for this thing to interfere with my work. If it is progressive...I am going to be very unhappy. Needless to say, I am very interested in ongoing research in this area, and am grateful to hear about the issue on this listserve. Thanks Wayne.
