Carpal Tunnel (workers comp)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I had carpal tunnel surgery in 1990 on my right wrist. Everything went

well. I also had it in my left wrist but didn't have surgery till 2000.

By then the pain had moved up my arm to the elbow and shoulder. When I

had the surgery in 2000 on my left wrist they also did a nerve release

in my left elbow. I also went through physical therapy for a few weeks

and my doctor sent me back to work for 20 for a few weeks, then 30 for

a few weeks till I was back full time. I filed workers comp both times

and had no problems at all with workers comp. With my shoulder they

just gave me a coritsone shot and they seemed to help. I also had shots

before surgery until they didn't help anymore. When the doctor sent me

back to work a few hours at a time workers comp still paid me for the

other hours I was not working so I was getting paid for 20 by work and

20 by workers comp. If you I didn't answer anything you wanted to know

feel free to e-mail. Hope I answered some questions for you.

God Bless,

Kat
