Affected by hand arm vibration syndrome?
Hand-arm vibration syndrome causes painful symptoms in your fingers, hands and arms, caused by using vibrating tools in the workplace. It is thought to occur from the slight and repeated injury to the small nerves and blood vessels in the fingers, which, over time, can lose some of their function.
