I don't think it's related to work, though I'm sure it's - exacerbated by MT Posted: Aug 12th, 2015 - 4:03 am In Reply to: Health issues that may or may not be related to work, need advice. - Creaky
Since you started having the symptoms after 10 years of straight typing, I don't think that is it. Most people don't have problems until they do VR.
I'm 50, started when I was 24, so have been in the business for 26 years. I only started having issues when I worked for M*Modal because their VR platform requires you to take your hands off the home keys and use your pinkies, and they track keyboard time. Any break you take has to be tacked on at the end of the day. That's insanity for this line of work. I lasted a year and a half after ending up there through a buy-out. Now working for a 'normal' company where hours are flexible as long as you keep work in turn around time. No more issues.
On the other hand, I would let the doctor decide that. That way you may get some kind of benefit if he deems it is due to the repetitive motions of your job.
