I remember overhearing another patient’s problems, who was being treated next to me.  She brought in her handbag and the therapist suggested she lighten her TEN pound bag.

So if you are having RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome and carry around a big bag, lighten your load.  Carrying around a heavy bag will only exacerbate your problems.

    This is a great tip. I forgot about this. Now my bag is half the size.
