You would need to rule out carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve in the neck giving you radiculopathy symptoms and possibly medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow)
Cubital tunnel syndrome is the result ofpressure being put on the ulnar nerve beside one of the bones of the elbow. This pressure can be caused by inflammation or as a result of tissue build up on the bone and surrounding area as a result of arthritis. It may be necessary for you to get the thing scanned and get expert medical opinion on it as it may very well need surgery to fix it.
Yes you need to be aware of the problem and you need to do something about it as if left untreated it can lead to irreversible damage to the median nerve that oases through the carpel tunnel ant to the muscles that are controlled by it.
Yes I would think so...you need to find your states website, usually something like wisconsin.gov. Almost anything can be filed, the question is will they cover it.
i think it is because they can learn flash...
There are several treatments available for the carpal tunnel syndrome. Some possible options are evaluating any other medical problems that might contribute to the carpal tunnel syndrome, wearing a wrist splint or avoiding activities that may be causing symptoms.
You will need to look on the Texas state website under employer's or employee's section
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
Every state is different you need to check with Ohio's work comp laws..2 good links listed below
You may need to get a wrist brace. There are also may many resting pads to relieve the pressure on your hands when typing and other laptop functions.
Avoiding carpal tunnel syndrome is something that can be done, but it takes careful planning. Throughout the day, people who perform repetitive motions will have to be conscious of the fact that they have to do certain exercises and take frequent breaks if they are to avoid injury to the carpal tunnel area. Otherwise, they may be subject to a workplace injury that will keep them from doing their jobs. The first thing that people can do to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome is to perform a few exercises before beginning their duties. For the hands, this could be as simple as shaking them before starting work. It will be necessary to take frequent breaks throughout the day; the exercises will need to be repeated before resuming work each time a break ends. If people sit long hours throughout the day, they will need to be aware of their posture. Good posture is important to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome. Workers do not want to be hunched over their computers or other machines while they are working, because they need their hands to be in a straight line. If the hands are higher or lower than a thirty degree angle, then the carpal tunnel area has the potential to become squeezed. This is how injuries begin. To avoid this, the hands should be in as straight a line as possible such as when typing at a keyboard. Sitting for long hours is not recommended if someone wants to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome, but with good posture, it can be prevented. People need to make sure that their feet are planted firmly on the ground with their knees bent at a forty-five degree angle with their backs straight. This will keep the body from scrunching into a position that will squeeze the carpal tunnel area in the hands. Also because sitting for long hours is not good for the body, people will need to take a break every hour, as was mentioned above. During these breaks, people will need to stand up and perform, not just exercises for the hands that are executing repetitive motions, but for the entire body. Stretching exercises will help people avoid carpal tunnel syndrome when they take frequent breaks.
That is a broad question. If your hand actually hurts all the time whenever you move it then you need an evaluation by an orthopedist, and not an on-lne answer. You need to be worked up for carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, gout, just to name a few. You will need xrays as well.
You need to edit your question to be more specific about what arch and what tunnel.
