4 quick tips if you think you have a repetitive trauma injury
1. If your hands, back, arm or whatever is hurting is more than just an ache, get to a doctor. Often these injuries can be cured with prompt medical care.
2. When you see your doctor make sure that you give a very detailed description of your job activities. To win a repetitive trauma case like carpal tunnel, herniated disc, De Quervain's, etc. you need an opinion from a credible physician that your job played a role.
3. Inform your employer as soon as possible. If you don't let your employer know about your problem in time, your case might get dismissed.
4. If you have work restrictions, follow them.
