I recently left a governemnt job after completing 7 years. The first 6 of these I was doing strenous maintenance on aircraft. For the last year I was at a dest job. While conducting maintenance during the first 6 years, I had always fels slightnumbness and weakness in my hands - but never seeked medical advice because I imagines it was just a symptom of being an mechanic.
I recently left the Governemnt job, and within 3 weeks of starting my new job, the pain became unbearable. I now haven worked for 1 month and am awaiting surgery.
My question is - Would the CTS been agrivated by this new job or caused?
My initial claim to the Governemt for compensation was rejected because I never gained medical advice about the problem during my service.
