At Disability Insurance Law Group, our Florida and Nationwide attorneys know carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and forearm.
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the condition occurs when one of the major nerves in the hand — the median nerve — is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist.
Unfortunately, what may start as discomfort in the hand, wrist, or forearm, can lead to permanent dysfunction of the hand, including loss of sensation in the fingers and weakness if untreated for too long.
In most patients, carpal tunnel syndrome gets worse over time. For this reason, it is important to diagnose and treat carpal tunnel syndrome promptly.
Our Nationwide carpal tunnel syndrome disability insurance attorneys assist individuals throughout the country with filing disability claims based on their condition, so they can seek the help they need without worrying about how they are going to pay their bills.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the tunnel becomes narrowed or when the tissue surrounding the flexor tendons swells.
This places pressure on the median nerve and reduces its blood supply, which can result in numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand.
Other symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome may include:
If pressure on the median nerve continues, it can lead to nerve damage and worsening symptoms. To prevent permanent damage, surgery to take pressure off the median nerve may be recommended for some patients.
