As a Chicago Work Comp lawyer I have seen thousands of carpal tunnel cases. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can have a combination of symptoms. There are over 15 different possible work-related contributing factors or causes of carpal tunnel syndrome, people often have a wide variety of symptoms and responses. These symptoms include but are not limited to:
• Restricted blood circulation
• Burning pain that radiates up the forearm
• Difficulty gripping
• Routinely dropping objects
• Loss of feeling or swollen sensations in the hand or fingers
Chicago workers compensation attorneys at our law firm have found there is no cure for carpal tunnel syndrome if it has progressed. If carpal tunnel syndrome is treated early on it can often result in the relief of some symptoms in a few days. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a repetitive stress work injury, this means it often comes back even after surgery. Carpal tunnel syndrome should not be ignored because of the impact you it can have on your ability to work.
If you are experiencing a combination of these symptoms inform your employer and consult a physician immediately. Also consult an experienced Chicago work comp law firm
