Would depend on what kind of "settlement" you agreed to and your specific work comp state laws, but typically no. That's why it's called a settlement in full etc..

Now if you settled a case and have "Open Medicals" then yes, because technically it never was closed.

Is carpal tunnel syndrome the same as arthritis?

Not exactly. The term "carpal" refers to the bones of the wrist; the condition "carpal tunnel syndrome" is caused by compression of a nerve passing through this area.Arthritis, of which there are a number of types, refers to inflammation of a joint (arthri is a Latin prefix meaning "joint").So while both conditions involve joint problems, the one is caused by irritation of a nerve in the wrist only, while the other involves inflammation, and often deformation and immobilization, of joint tissues and can occur in any joint.
