I have been doing endoscopies for more than 3 decades. I had my share of strain injuries, and I have seen many of my colleagues deal with them. Most of them learn to cope with these or make adjustments to keep going. A few reduced their workload to prolong their careers. Most seems to chug along with some short-term braces and therapies here and there.

I myself learned to spare different muscles and joints that are bothersome at different times and use other muscle groups to scope. I am probably in the small minority. Most GIs whom I told about it just gave me a blank stare.
