An old and chronic problem I have when doing MT work is that my right shoulder aches after just a shor time at the keyboard. (I am left-handed). It seems the constant mouse movement irritate it a lot. I am now doing VRE type work and boy has it made it worse. I know my right side is probably weaker than my left and I can work on strengthening it somehow but I wondered if anyone has any ideas for this? I do not like being in pain. I've thought about a new chair ...

For ESL doctors, account specifics direct me to change word if it is the wrong word, but leave it if its simply awkwardly stated.

Hi all,
There is a discrepancy with the proper use of this - can anyone help? Some at my work are saying it should be bilateral lower extremities, whereas others think it is bilateral lower extremity since the "bilateral" implies that it's plural and hence no need to say "lower extremities." I've seen it both ways, but the more that I think about it the more I'm getting myself confused.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! ...
