Carpal tunnel syndrome involves irritation of tendons and/or nerves that pass through the "carpal tunnel" that runs from the hand to the wrist. Swelling of the carpal tunnel can be a factor. A patient may first notice tingling and eventually suffer from pain that extends up the arm.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can be one of the most vexing types of workplace injuries. This painful condition typically develops in workers who must perform repetitive motions all day long, such as word processing or factory manufacturing work. Workers often hesitate to report effects of this type of repetitive stress injury because they are afraid they will put their jobs at risk.
However, it is important to know that an employer is not allowed to penalize a worker for reporting a workplace injury.
