THE THINGS YOU CARRY
As any of you who have been following my blog know, I’m all about prevention and early recognition of overuse issues. Obviously if we prevent the problem, we might not have to suffer. If we catch it early, we might not have to suffer…much. And even though through suffering…we grow stronger, I think it doesn’t apply as much to the physical being as to the emotional being . And it certainly doesn’t apply if the suffering is due to your purse.
Now you might think you would suffer if you couldn’t own any bag your heart desired. But I’m here to tell you that these giant bags which resemble something more like a steamer trunk than a purse are hazardous to your health. They cause all sorts of repetitive strain disorders. When I got the opportunity to address this one on a fashion forum, I jumped on it. Check out my quote on this blog!

And for the record, feel free to carry a big tote. I love a big tote. But empty it every day, like you would your pockets!

I'm a retired orthopedic surgeon from Austin, Texas. I practiced general orthopedic surgeon in Austin for 36 yrstd and have a pretty good idea of the things we're doing to cause pain and injury. As a competitive horseback rider, and a female athlete, I also have personal experience with injuries and the musculoskeletal problems associated with aging. I talk frankly about various conditions, and how you can prevent a lot of injuries, deal with pain and slow down the degenerative processes which will happen as we age.
