Q: I was diagnosed to have chronic pain syndrome. My injury has turned out that I have a pinched nerve in my wrist.
This injury is work related and it happened February 26 2017.I was injured at work and already settled with workers compensation this year. I've seen 3 physical therapist none came to this conclusion to check for a nerve damage test what do i do?
A:
Immediately go back to your workers compensation attorney that you had for your prior claim. Tell them about the new diagnosis.
You are going to be limited to recovering through that process from your employer, so your only possible remedy will come from reopening your claim, it that is even possible.
Good luck to you.
