Narrative

Employee complained of nerve pain in arms after using air and electric chipper for months doing shaft work. An occupation doctor visit triggered a nerve study. The nerve study was positive for carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This was considered compensable due to the nature of the work. This became a recordable injury on the date of surgery.
