Working
Few things are more distressing than worrying that knee pain is interfering with your work. Will it keep you from doing what you need to do? Will it make you less safe?
If knee pain is putting a crimp in your career, talk to your surgeon about the JOURNEY◊ Knee. It can be implanted using minimally invasive techniques that can reduce the amount of work you miss. So you can get back to your job sooner and return to normal activities.
In the meantime, the editors of Arthritis Today recommend these ways to work smarter:
- Alternate between sitting and standing, taking breaks and moving around every 30 minutes or so.
- If you have to lift heavy loads, be sure to use your largest, strongest joints and hold the load close to your body.
- Don’t wear high heels.
- Use document holders and hands-free headsets to avoid neck pain.
- Position your computer monitor about 20–26 inches from your upper body with the top of the monitor even with the top of your head and use a wrist rest.
If your knee pain persists, talk to your surgeon about how the JOURNEY◊ Knee can you get back to work.
