Carpal Tunnel and Rotator Cuff
Repetitive Stress Injury Claims in Georgia
If you are having trouble tolerating the wear and tear that your job places on your wrists or shoulders, you may be suffering from a repetitive stress injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff syndrome, or thoracic outlet syndrome. Depending on the severity and duration of your symptoms, you may have the right to collect workers' compensation benefits on the basis of a chronic work-related injury, so that you can seek treatment or repair of the afflicted joint. For a free consultation about your situation, contact an experienced workers' compensation attorney at the Delius Law Firm in Atlanta.
We advise and represent workers from a wide range of industrial, service, and clerical occupations who suffer from repetitive stress injury symptoms of various kinds. The more common conditions include the following:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist or hand
- Cubital tunnel syndrome in the shoulder, elbow or fingers
- Lateral epicondylitis, or "tennis elbow"
- Medial epicondylitis, or "golfer's elbow"
- Rotator cuff damage in the shoulder
- Reynaud's syndrome in the fingers
- Thoracic outlet syndrome in one or both shoulders
- Sciatica in the hips or legs
Repeated overhead reaching, continuous use of heavy vibrating tools, prolonged operation of a computer keyboard or mouse, or constant use of poorly fitted hand tools can all cause repetitive stress injuries. In some cases, conservative treatment and light physical therapy will relieve the condition. In others, surgery might be required to relieve symptoms that have worsened over a period of months or years.
