Do you have a repetitive motion injury or carpel tunnel syndrome?

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome  is a painful condition of the hand and fingers caused by compression of a major nerve where it passes over the carpal bones through a passage at the front of the wrist, alongside the flexor tendons of the hand. It may be caused by repetitive movements over a long period of time and is characterized by sensations of tingling, numbness, or burning.

Many jobs involve this repetitive motion and lead to this condition.  These jobs include assembly line jobs, packing jobs and typing.  While the onset of repetitive motion workers’ compensation claims can be gradual, it is nevertheless a compensable condition.  Even if you have first gone to your regular doctor to get the diagnosis, once you have the diagnosis it should be reported to your employer as a work related injury. Because the condition can occur without any work injury, many employers simply fail to report it to their insurers. However, if your job is repetitive in nature then you should pursue the injury as a workers compensation claim.
