They’re not making it up: people with no obvious nerve damage may still be
suffering from repetitive strain injury, says a team at University College
London. Using magnetic resonance imaging to view the patients’ wrists when they

less than normal (The Lancet, vol 354, p 217). This suggests that
specialist physiotherapy designed to improve nerve movement might solve the
problem.
