Dr Ranj Singh has appeared on BBC Morning Live to speak about repetitive strain injuries, a condition that may be exacerbated in the colder months and can affect anyone
Dr Ranj Singh has highlighted a lesser-known health issue that could be more prevalent during the chillier months. The 45-year-old medic appeared on BBC Morning Live on Thursday, October 31 to discuss what he termed as a group of related conditions impacting various parts of the body.
Dr Singh noted that while it's particularly common in individuals who engage in sports like golf or tennis, desk workers are also at risk, especially those with poor sitting habits which can 'result in problems'. "In colder weather we tend to get a bit more stiff and that can exacerbate stiffness and exacerbate pain, also in colder weather we tend to change the way we hold ourselves and move and we may restrict ourselves more," Dr Singh also warned.
Patient explains: "Also, there are no objective or measurable signs such as inflammation, swelling or problems with nerve function. It is sometimes called diffuse RSI or nonspecific pain syndrome."
