I have been working at a restaurant in the kitchen for approximately 8 months now, and my hands are getting more and more numb from the repetitive work that I have been doing there. I have to lift a lot of heavy things, sometimes lifting heavy pans with just one hand due to a busy rush hour and similar things such as that.

My employer is also very pushy and bossy, trying to force me to quit, which is another story I have heard from a lot of people that get into the situation where they might claim workman's comp. He has been very pushy and even other employees there have confirmed my paranoia that he is just singling me out and is much harder on me than other employees, yada yada.

My question is, if I do file for workman's comp, how do I go about it? My hands are really getting to the point where I can barely use them. They are particularly numb when I go to sleep at night, and when I wake up in the morning they are numb for at least a good two hours. The repetitive work that I do there is obviously causing my pain and numbness but I just don't know how to go about all this. Any advice is really greatly appreciated.
