I am one of the millions of Sonographers scanning In pain. It has forever changed my life. There are so many obstacles that Sonographers face on a daily basis and it's about time things change

I've only been a tech for 5 years and my shoulder aches so much already. I don't know how I will feel when I'm 50.

This issue is an ongoing and extremely serious one. I have taken what actions I can in my work environment but there is far more need.
I have been scanning for 10 years and I find it more and more difficult every day with the increasing number of patients.

Shoulder & neck, low back pain, carpal tunnel Rt hand and if it weren't for massages, would need to change career.

I have been scanning for 9 years now and have chronic neck pain. I am unsure of my future as a sonographer at this point. This is both sad and scary as I obviously have not been out in the field long. My trouble stems from both large patient volumes and the rise in obesity.

Unfortunately I'm a Sonographer who lost my career due to a work related shoulder injury. Now I have to find a new one and currently back in school acquiring more educational debt.

We need a change and laws in place to protect our bodies. It is not acceptable to be told that the equipment needed to perform my job is too expensive and not in the budget. Enough is enough.

Finally someone is able to join together and attempt to make a change for the future of Sonography! I feel very strongly that we do not have anyone out there that is willing to stand up for us. There should be no reason that we should be allowed to have injuries over and over doing our job while nothing is done about it. If something like this was happening at a factory or other profession I truly believe it would not be allowed to happen. I is now time for us to join and stand up for ourselves!!!!

This would be great I'm a echo tech and think there should be something in place as I've only been in my career for 8 yrs and already deal with this and have had a injury
