Can a person get Workers Comp for carpal tunnel?

Since carpal tunnel is something you get from typing all the time (well, for me at least) is it consider a work related injury? My hands and arms ache all the time and even keep me awake at night. Any thoughts?
Answer:
Disability is not easy to get. It took me two years and I have Lupus, asthma, chronic cystitis, and chronic migraines. There is surgery which can be performed for carpal tunnel. I would imagine you would have to have this done first and if it failed
then you could begin your up hill battle for disability.

It is hard to prove that carpal tunnel is caused solely by your job in order to get Worker's Compensation. However, you would be eligible for short term disability while you recover.

Ho! Hum!You can in some countries yes. Of course it depends if you are in one of those countries.The dilemma here is I know the law in the UK, but I don't know which country you are in.Whereas, you don't know the law in the UK, but you do know which country you are in.

Carpal tunnel disorder is not usually the result of just one thing. Perhaps you should ask an orthopedic surgeon to assess your case and advise if surgery would help. If so, you might get medical leave to have the needed surgery so you could go back to work.
