  • Housemaid's knee is caused by kneeling or leaning forward for a long period of time, such as when scrubbing the floor. That's why the perfect woman is 3ft tall with a flat head for your beer and has no teeth..LOL! Headbang

    John, my point was:


    What causes repetitive stress injury?  
    • Repetitive stress injury is caused when too much stress is placed on a joint as a result of the same action being performed over and over.
    • Specific kinds of repetitive stress injury are caused by certain actions:
    • Bicipital tendinitis is often caused by using the arm to make repeated scrubbing motions.
    • Tennis elbow is caused by repeatedly bending the wrist backwards with force, such as when playing tennis or painting with a brush.
    • Golfer's elbow is caused by repeatedly bending the wrist forward with force, such as when pulling ropes or golfing.
    • DeQuervain's tendosynovitis is caused by repeated pinching or twisting of the wrist.
    • Housemaid's knee is caused by kneeling or leaning forward for a long period of time, such as when scrubbing the floor.
    • Some forms of tendinitis and bursitis may also be caused by diseases such as rheumatoid (pronounced room-a-toid) arthritis, gout, psoriatic (pronounced sore-ee-at-ick) arthritis, Reiter's (pronounced rlt-urz) syndrome, thyroid disease and diabetes.

    Protect your joints:

    • Be kind to your body. After doing heavy work, or doing the same task over and over, stop. Slow down by doing an easy task, or by taking a rest.
    • If you are doing a task for work or a hobby that may have caused your repetitive stress injury, change how you do that task. Find different tools that can make the task easier.(Glides)
    • Use your back, arms and legs in safe ways to avoid putting stress on joints. For example, carry a heavy load close to your body.
    • Use helpful devices such as a cart to carry your grocery bags, or an enlarged handle that fits over a knife handle so you can hold it easily. A cart will help you to walk more safely. A grab bar, which attaches to a shower, will help you to get in and out of the tub more easily.
    • OR A GLIDE FOR A WAND AS TEFLON SLIDES WAY EASIER THAN METAL.
    • Consider getting a splint to hold your joint in a comfortable position at night. A splint can help decrease pain, swelling and stiffness.
    • Seems like common sense to meWink
