I have been suffering with lateral epicondylitis in my scanning arm since August. I have had two cortisone injections and the pain has returned. I also suffer with neck and back pain while scanning. I have scanned for 20 years!! Afraid of what my future holds. I have 21 more years until I can retire!!
