Can you file workman's comp claim if you have only been on the job for 5 months for carpal tunnel syndrome that may have been from previous jobs?

Every state has different work comp laws, so that is impossible to answer in this type of forum. Generally the current employer would not be liable if you had CTS prior to being hired. Now if you could prove you had mild CTS and now you have severe CTS from your current employer you might have a case. However, you also would have to prove it wasn't caused by other conditions like Diabetes, hypothyroidism etc.. or hobbies or home activities.

Can you have carpal tunnel syndrome with no pain?
Probably not. It really depends on your definition of severe. Some people feel that they have severe symptoms but in reality their NCS (nerve conduction studies) are reported out as mild and a large portion of their symptoms are related to tendonitis etc..However, If you actually have NCS/EMG studies showing severe CTS and symptoms for longer than 3 months, then you will need carpal tunnel release
Can you file a carpal tunnel claim if you retired 6 months ago?
You will need to check with your states work comp laws to find out how long you have to report a workrelated injury.

Remember just because you file it doesn't mean it will be accepted as a workrelated case.

Should there be thumb numbness post carpal tunnel release after 2 weeks?
I'm not sure if you are saying that there is NEW thumb numbness or if you are saying that the thumb numbness you had from your carpal tunnel syndrome condition is still there? If the latter yes it can be normal and it may take several weeks to months but it should gradually improve once that compression on the median nerve has been released. If it's new, then possibly the median nerve still has some swelling and inflammation about the nerve from the surgery itself, and it should improve as your condition improves. The other possibility is that the median nerve was knicked, which is a risk factor for carpal tunnel surgery
