Keller’s mix of suburban offices, service jobs, and logistics-oriented employers creates a predictable pattern: repetitive tasks plus limited recovery time.
You may be dealing with a repetitive stress injury if you notice symptoms after:
- Long keyboard/mouse or scanner use during high-demand shifts
- Repeated lifting or carrying without consistent job rotation
- Tool-based work that forces the same grip, wrist angle, or arm motion
- Overtime or “catch-up” weeks where breaks are skipped to meet deadlines
- Commuting + desk time that worsens posture and strain even outside work hours
The key issue is not whether your job was “technically possible.” It’s whether your work conditions required the same motions or sustained positions often enough—and for long enough—that the strain became medically foreseeable.
