Symptoms of MSDs

Symptoms may occur during the early stages of a MSD and are indicators that something is wrong or there might be a problem. Symptoms may occur anytime, not just at work. It is common for symptoms to occur sporadically, sometimes they are present and sometimes you feel fine.

Examples of symptoms include:

• fatigue
• aching
• tingling
• numbness
• muscle tightness
• cramping
• burning sensation
• pain

If you ignore these symptoms, signs of a MSD may occur.
