I comment on the behalf of my mother, whom no longer can work, type, cook, housework, drive, repetitive motions, grip, lift, pull or push because of B-Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for the last 7 years.
For five years my mother was a date entry operator for the United States Postal Service when she was diagnosed with B Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. As well she lost her job.
My mother never had any problem with her hands,wrist, weight, or neck before she was diagnosed with CTS. As well her family never had a history of CTS.
After my mother had her first surgery she had release from pain, numbness, and tingles. She was order to go back to work by her doctor. Advised by her doctor that she would still type.
She regain employment at another company in which she was a customer service rep. Months after she begain her employment as a typist all of her syptoms that she experienced before with her CTS. They came back again...This time worst.
Keep in mind..My mother has never done any hard labor job in her life. Has never lifted over 10lbs at the most of any of her jobs.
Again my mother stay out of work more than she stayed at work.She finally had her second surgery. This time the surgery didn't work. It was too late. My mother now is disabled. She bearly has strength in either one of her hands. Has pain in hands and wrist all the time. Still has numbness and tingling. As well has neck pain..
Explain this, the only job my mother has done consecutively is type...I don't believe the report is correct. Because my mother is a sound example...This is a another example of big business..
