Dr. Steinmann shares if wearing a heavy purse on one's shoulder can contribute to shoulder arthritis.
Dr. Steinmann:
No, not really because you have to look at the amount of time that actually, and the weight that that’s involved in and very interesting, it’s very interesting that shoulder arthritis I treat equally on women and men, left and right, and of course most women carry their purse on one shoulder rather than the other and so you would think that I would treat more right sided shoulder arthritis, but I don’t. So clearly it hasn’t had much impact at all.
