When can carpal tunnel sydrome develop?
Eight months is enough time to develop carpal tunnel! Think about it. Eight months, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day… I would do the following: 1) tell her to wear a brace at night when she sleeps. It helps the symptoms a lot. 2) give it another month or two, then file a claim, and keep fighting until the situation is recognized. To prove the condition exists, have her boss sign something saying she has been complaining of her symptoms for months. Get it on paper!
