Probably not, I would assume you knew about the condition and had an idea that what you would be doing could make it worse. If perhaps you had a minor condition and work pushed it to a point of being a disability then maybe you would have an argument. You could always lie of course, but you will be traveling a rough road if you go that route. Now if your employer new about your condition and you were not asked to sign a waver and they hired you anyway you may have a case. I would talk to a professional first. A good lawyer, of course, could make most any argument.
