Carpal tunnel both wrists. Neck and shoulder pain constantly. We do what we do because we love it, but all these work related injuries from scanning like it's a factory is No bueno

I definitely agree with this ! I have been in field for 14 years and have had 2 wrist surgeries and probably need shoulder surgery ! Less studies and buy better urgonomic equipment.

I’ve been scanning 30+ yrs. I have seen too many scan in pain or have to give it up. There needs to be a Written standard.

I have not had a raise in years. I have 18+ years in this field and 6 more in X-ray. I'm saddened and wish now I chose another career al together. I work like a dog to make higher ups rich. No rest from call ins that could wait till following day or no breaks to include swallowing my lunch in two bites. I certainly hope things change for the better for others. I'm to the point I just am not sure how much longer I can work in this field. Please help us. Thank you.

This is a very serious issue. There are too many ultrasound technologists that are scanning in pain. That have have numerous surgeries,procedures,injections, physical therapies just to be able to continue working. There needs to be limitations to keep these injuries from occurring.
