: I have had 3 surgeries on my hands. Bilateral carpal tunnel, fasciotomy, and the ulnar nerve was transposed at the elbow,and wrist. I worked in the operating room doing central supply, constantly folding and wraping. My job fired me when I couldn't come back to work and I lost my health ins.,life ins and my position in the operating room. I need help, now workers comp. has cut my payments down to nothing. any suggestions? Would appreciate any help. Thank you, Ellen

Ironically, I worked in Emergency Dept Registration, developed repetitive stress problems (TOS,CTS)& was also fired! Still on the Workers' Comp merry-go-round. Unbelievable. Good luck. It's been 1 1/2 yrs for me. Betty
