15 years at the same company has taken a toll on my hands. Tingling from finger tips to up the arm, pain in the thumbs, index and middle fingers. Ongoing for almost 10 years. Handled it with wrists braces and hand exercises. Now, it's a constant attack on both hands. Only relief is dangling my arm off the bed and pressing my elbows against the ribs with palms up. I did a workman's comp for my back and arm years ago and lost. Have not made an appointment with a hand surgeon. Was told to do so when I saw a doc years ago. So now is the time. Would I qualify for WC for time off and medical reimbursement over this? I have a high deductible (8k) shitty medical plan thanks to obamacare. Maybe both hands will meet the deductible. Is this a case in NY? Not looking to see a lawyer. Just to see the doc and file if my concerns are right.
