That is hard to say because different states have different work comp laws and rules as to what is allowable and what's not. A lot of CTS is caused by non-workrelated factors as well, but if your case has been approved by workers comp then it Also will depend if the person has had to have surgery or not and whether there is/was in impairment or disability. If you understand all that then some with carpal tunnel syndrome are no entitiled to any settlement or lump sum...Others may be able to collect 15-30k..less lawyer fees of 20-30% of course. in west Tennessee what is the average settlement for carpal tunnel
Tenotomy means to cut a tendon. In this case the flexor carpi radialis tendon. This tendon doesn't run through the carpel tunnel itself. A few doctors do lump it with the other four that do go through the tunnel. By saying he released the carpi, he means that the cut tendon no longer is attached to the wrist bone it once went to. You must of had problems with the thumb. At the link below, you will see this muscle and tendon. There is a "bar" holding the other tendons away from the flexor carpi radialis. This shows that is is not in the tunnel.
I get the same pain sometimes, but am not sure what is the cause. it could be stress to a muscle, which will heal itself, but it could be something more serious, like a clot. It's best to get it checked by a doctor. I think I hear tmine by playing football, but it's best to be safe.
If there is a painful lump above your wrist that hurts when you touch it, extend your fingers, when you roll your wrist or when you grip onto something you may have damaged a tendon or ligament. Your best bet is to talk to your health care provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate testing.
If you got a lump under your thumb as well as a heavy blow to your wrist, this might mean you jammed your thumb. You can see a doctor and they can put it back into place.

Not sure what you are asking? Generally the lawyer wants to do what's best for his client...okay now for the real answer! The lawyer would gain more by having you settle for a larger up front lump sum. He's not going to get much of anything on your future treatments--open medicals its called.
If you develop a small lump on your hand/wrist it is most likely to be an Ganglion. Ganglion's never give you any pain or rarely give you pain. They are not particularly big but you can see them very easily. It is nothing to be worried about. Ganglions are a small bit of tissue trapped under the skin. If you wait a month it might disappear but if it doesn't you have choice to either have an operation and remove it or keep it there forever as long as it doesn't bother you. After your operation you will have an inch mark where it was removed. Ganglion are usually on your hand or wrist. The Ganglion will move side to side easily. In the olden day people used to get their family bible and bash it down despite the consequences which were your wrist or hand breaking. Do not use the bible technique know. (Very bad idea!)I have an ganglion at the moment. My ganglion does not hurt. My ganglion is on my hand.You should go to the local doctor to make sure the lump on your hand is definitely a Ganglion and not something else.
You may not, it just depends on your work comp states law and your company's insurance. First of all it has to be determined to be work related from your job. Then you have to show/prove that you have an impairment (typically determined after carpal tunnel surgery by a specialist) If your are given an impairment rating, say of 5% to the right hand, then this is typically given a dollar amount based on your job/occupation etc..for your state. They will either offer you a lump sum settlement and closed medicals ie you can't come back for more money for treatment..or give you a smaller settlement with open medicals ie you can continue to get treatment as needed. Note that your lawyer will get 25-33% of your settlement off of the top, so if you can settle with your company etc..you might come out better,BUT if they are low balling you, then you may need to get an attorney..but he/she will need to get at least 25-33% more settlement just to break even..and obtaining an attorney can delay the whole case, sometimes by years because the company will play hard ball as well. Keep in mind many people have CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome) and or the surgery w/o any impairment! (ie you are better and there is no residual weakness/symptoms etc..)
