What is a medical certificate for repetitive strain injury?
A medical certificate for repetitive strain injury is a signed note from a doctor confirming that you consulted them about RSI symptoms and that, in the doctor's view, you need time off or a change to how you work. Employers and universities usually ask for one before approving leave.
On DrCertificate, an RSI note most often comes through the Sick Leave or Work From Home option. A sick leave note covers days away from work or study. A work from home note suits people who can still work but need to avoid the commute or the office workstation.
The certificate records the doctor's opinion after a chat consultation. DrCertificate itself does not diagnose, treat or prescribe.
Which kinds of repetitive strain injury can a doctor consider online?
A doctor on DrCertificate can consider the common, settled forms of repetitive strain injury that come from repeated movement or long hours at a keyboard, mouse or phone. Repetitive strain injury usually affects the wrists, hands, forearms, elbows, neck or shoulders, and the pain builds with use and eases with rest.
The doctor decides whether you need rest, and for how long, based on the consultation. No fixed number of days applies to RSI. The NHS says repetitive strain injury often gets better on its own, so the doctor weighs how your symptoms are behaving and what your job asks of your hands and arms.
In most South East Asian countries, sick leave and work from home notes go up to 7 days for generic symptoms.
Other kinds of arm and hand pain need a hands on examination.
Pain after a fall, a joint that looks out of shape or weakness that keeps spreading is not suitable for a chat consultation.
Wrist and forearm tendon strain
Aching, swelling or a creaking feeling along the tendons, often linked to typing or gripping tools.
Carpal tunnel symptoms
Tingling, numbness or pain in the thumb and fingers, often worse at night.
Tennis or golfer's elbow
Pain on the outer or inner elbow that flares when gripping or lifting.
Neck and shoulder strain
Stiffness and aching from long hours at a desk or screen.
What should you tell the doctor about your repetitive strain injury?
Tell the doctor where your repetitive strain injury hurts, how long it has lasted and what it stops you doing. Short, honest details help the doctor reach a decision.
Include the leave period you want and the date it should start.
What you feel
Pain, aching, stiffness or throbbing, plus any tingling, numbness, weakness or cramp.
When it started
The date symptoms began, whether they come and go, and the task that set them off.
How bad it is
Which tasks you cannot do, like typing, lifting or gripping, and whether pain wakes you at night.
Reports you already have
Any scan, test or physiotherapy note you hold, where it relates to your symptoms.
When is repetitive strain injury not suitable for an online certificate?
Repetitive strain injury is not suitable for an online certificate when the signs point to a fracture, nerve damage, infection or a heart problem. Seek in person or emergency care if you notice any of the warning signs listed here.

DrCertificate is only for suitable non emergency situations and does not diagnose, treat or prescribe. The doctor may decline any request that is not suitable for chat.
