barista wrist?? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by avacynrising
i'm pretty new (320*****, started in July 2021) and for the past month or so my SSVs have been putting me on bar because they found out that I'm good at it (some past experience at a BN cafe has helped a lot). it's great for me, because I love bar, but I've noticed over the past week that my wrist is starting to hurt and I suspect it's because of the weird angle I'm using to pick things up without moving from my spot?? has anyone else experienced this or am I crazy??

this is likely!!! pick up a support brace from a pharmacy and start using it if you can, rest it as much as possible, and do stretches!!!!

definitely a thing. could even be repetitive strain injury. i’ve had several coworkers need corrective surgeries for this very reason. try to take some time away from the bar, if possible.

I started to get tendinitis in my elbows from bar! What helps me is using a tennis ball to roll over my joints after a shift

Same exact thing. September 320, on bar a lot with no previous experience. Found out I was really good, my elbow hurt like a mfker. It went away after about two weeks. But exercise it and get a brace
