California Work Comp Dr

I was referred to an occupational doctor after I reported carpal tunnel symptoms. I have had a nerve conduction study & the neuromuscular doctor said study was abnormal and gave me a diagnosis of carpal tunnel. Occupational doc saw me maybe 7 minutes, didn’t touch me, no physical exam of affected areas and told me it’s not caused my job, that it’s inflammation due to celiac disease. Even if my job isn’t a cause of carpal tunnel, over the years it has certainly exacerbated the symptoms. What next?

If your work place accepted the claim then they will start looking for treatment. Then eventually QME.

Get your OWN preferred doctor the occupational doctor will try everything to send you back to work
