Other conditions

Symptoms
Symptoms vary depending on the affected area but normally start with either pain, throbbing or numbness and to begin with may subside when resting the affected muscle.
Diagnosis
There is no actual diagnosis for RSI but if the pain subsides when resting from the repetitive task and if other conditions are discounted you may be diagnosed with RSI.
Treatment
Stopping the activity which aggravates the condition, anti inflammatory painkillers or physiotherapy.
