I haven't been crocheting long and love it. I've just started getting really into it and have developed pain in my elbow and shoulder. My friend/crochet teacher recommended I rest for a couple of weeks and I definitely will do so if it means that I will heal and be able to continue crocheting. Good luck to you all Janine, London xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816051483556112413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288438244636801667.post-36329798320234264072016-05-22T05:58:16.547-07:002016-05-22T05:58:16.547-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312328106510596482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288438244636801667.post-36534297388273017112016-05-22T05:58:11.303-07:002016-05-22T05:58:11.303-07:00Thank you for this, it was quite informative.
Oddl...Thank you for this, it was quite informative.<br />Oddly enough, my RSI from crochet is not in my hook-holding hand, but in my yarn & work holding (left) hand.<br />So unfortunately a change of hook wouldnot make any difference and I can't really think of how else I could make my crochet more bearable, other than stopping altogether:/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312328106510596482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288438244636801667.post-74563826942410767792016-03-14T07:35:09.301-07:002016-03-14T07:35:09.301-07:00I have RSI in my forearm from too much crochet/kni...I have RSI in my forearm from too much crochet/knitting. At first I was in denial but now can't even contemplate crafts, gardening, piano, photography, anything that uses that particular muscle. Good to see it written down so thoroughly.

My mum taught me crotchet and I am literally hooked! When I was doing lots of various stitches I was fine then I decided to make an amigurumi rabbit. The repetitive single crotchet for hours on end has resulted in me having numb tingling fingers on my hook hand. I took a few days off but started up again as I wanted to complete my bunny for my daughter by Christmas. I haven't gained sensation back in my last 3 fingers for 3 days now. I thought I was alone in suffering crotchet injuries! I have decided to see the Dr and then I will return to crotchet in small bursts. I don't have pain as such but loss of sensation is a very scary result of rsi. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109345015772284731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288438244636801667.post-59559080934905642832015-12-12T05:21:33.899-08:002015-12-12T05:21:33.899-08:00Thank you for writing this!

When I first got RSI I thought I was the only one 'out there' with it but actually it is quite a common (and often preventable) condition amongst crocheters.

It something that needs to talked about. Crochet is seen as an old lady activity and harmless. Nothing is totally harmless and we need to do everything in moderation. Even something like crochet!
