WRMSD are painful, life altering, costly, and avoidable.

I work as a mobile sonographer. While the company I work for does all they can to ensure our daily accounts limit the number of exams ordered, some do not comply. There have been days that I have scanned 22 to 24 exams (general, vascular, echo). Mobile scanning has very limited ergonomical option so, I am in constant pain now and I have only been scanning for a year. I cannot imagine what 5 or even 10 years of this would cause my body

We should not have to injure our bodies for our employment.

the only reason I don't have the issues I used to is because I'm in a management role and don't scan as much. but I still have issues with my left el own from scanning obese patients hearts.

I suffer from chronic back/neck spams that are job related. which stems from muscles under my rt shoulder blade.
