If u have dodgy knees, back and wrist, i'd seriously reconsider about doing CSS,Judgee wrote:.............. and the chance for my dodgy knees, back, and wrists to mend?
Any thoughts?
because all of the above take a beating,
of all the staff that have worked CSS at my place (past & present) only one has not shown signs of R.S.I.
we've just had one accept medical retirement due to carpel tunnel syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_tunnel_syndrome" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
i have occasionally experienced pain in one of my wrists, and when i do, i wear a wrist brace for a few weeks till it go's,
also, bear in mind that when on these machines, u have to walk sideways like a crab !
doing that for 5-7 hours per shift will eventually take it's toll.as for your back, there is a lot of bending over to pick up boxes etc, i've never experienced back problems luckily, but i get the odd aches and pains which i never had as a postie.
I don't want to put u off, it might work out for u,
just don't expect it to be a doddle, it isn't,
everything u do on those machines is monitored via a computer,
gaffers know when they were running, when they have completed each batch etc, theres not really anywhere to hide.
