18 years scanning. Year 15 had my rotator cuff repaired after being in pain for over 2 years. All muscles were torn. Love my career, couldn't imagine doing anything else.

Most of us sonographers work with pain every day. Some of us now never get relief, pain on your days off as well. We love our profession.

Been in echo since 1983. Have seen sonographers with much less scan time than I have with the same issues that I have. I did not start having neck and shoulder issues until I was 50 yrs old. People 20-30 years younger than I have the same issues and have only been scanning a few years. Tgere needs to be a limit on scans per day.

Thank you for protecting our bodies and livelihoods with this petition. As a Sonographer who scan 16-20 patients a day, I often ya e pain and struggle on a daily basis. This needs to be recognize and addressed.

Shouldn't this be done by the ARDMS or some other agency that we pay dues to? Just asking. I think that this is way over due.

This is long overdue. Thanks for getting this petition going. I’m am just getting back to work after having surgery for a ruptured UCL in my scanning hand. I was told I will still have pain for life. Plus my spine and rt hip are a mess too after 28 years of scanning...Always in pain... hopefully this will help!!
