Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which there is pressure on the median nerve -- the nerve in the wrist that supplies feeling and movement to parts of the hand. It can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle damage in the hand and fingers. Track laborers or other railroad mechanical personnel who endure repetitive movements may develop carpal tunnel syndrome and be entitled to compensation.
