: : I've just finished getting the results from my EMG and it shows mild CTS in the left and moerate CTS in the right. I want to report it to my employer,the USPS, but I'm not sure how to do it.I'd like to hear from another employee who has dealt with them,So I'll know what to expect and how to go about it.
: : Thanks for any info. Also if there are any support organization with the union in regard to this

Just found out about this site. I have bi-lateral CTS. I was a LSM Clerk. I had 3 surgeries on the right hand and 2 on the left. After each recovery I was placed back on the LSM even though the Dr. disapproved, until finally I was given a disability retirement. This was seven years ago, and I am still in pain.In my area, I have not found a support group or any assistance from the union. In fact all the info and help I received was from outside sources, not the union!
