Good morning. I'm in California. Filed my first WC claim, after four surgeries for repetitive stress injuries, and looking at my fifth upcoming surgery. I've been a Legal secretary for the last 25 years (never WC).
Injuries/Surgeries are as follows:
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome left arm & right arm (ulnar nerve entrapment, ulnar nerve transposition Left arm & medial epicondylectomy Right arm)
Lateral Epicondylitis right arm
Right Shoulder impingement with SLAP tear repair, bone spur, debridement and biceps tenotomy
The ulnar nerve on the right arm has become entrapped again, I've got muscle wasting and a clawing pinky finger. My Right shoulder again has tendonitis and now showing AC joint arthritis.
I do have an attorney. My attorney amended my claim to a cumulative trauma claim, WC denied my claim.
My QME is on 6/24/16.
I'd like some insight as to what to expect from here.
Thank you!!
