The more common repetitive strain injury conditions are:
- 
Bursitis (occupational causes are rare but Bursitis at the elbow is a prescribed disease).

 - 
Cellulitis (or “best hand”) (DSS prescribed disease).
 - 
Epicondylitis (also referred to as “tennis elbow” or “golfer’s elbow”).
 - 
Diffuse Fibromyalgia.
 -

 - 
Peritendinitis Crepitans (one of the so-called original classic RSI conditions).
 - 
Rotator Cuff Syndrome (unlikely to be a viable claim).
 - 
Tendinitis/Tendonitis (one of the so-called original classic RSI conditions).
 -
