My girlfriend was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel by her Doctor, her Work refused to fill out the workers comp paperwork, so we had to get a lawyer. After we got a lawyer he got her job to fill out the paperwork and she received workers comp. She went to all the appointments and got all the test done. Finally she got surgery on both wrist, she began therapy.

After both surgeries she had neck pain and told her Doctor about it. He said he was going to release her and if the pain continued to call him in 2 weeks. A few days later the pain was too much so she called her Doctor and set up an appointment. He said that he has a feeling she has "Double Crush" and she needs to get her neck/spine checked out. He said that this is part of the original injury, and many people who get Carpal Tunnel get Double Crush as well. He said he wants her to get test on her neck and spine, and then look into therapy.

Since he released her a week earlier, now Workers Comp refuses to pay for the treatment and the test. She is going to lose her insurance because she can not return to work due to the pain. We told her lawyer and he said there is not much he can do. I don't understand any of this because, she had to stop working and received workers comp because of the pain and inability to use her hands due to carpal tunnel. She still has the pain, and can not use her hands because of the injury at work. So now she is losing her insurance and workers comp refuses to cover an extended claim, even though the doctor says the double crush is from the injury at work and is part of the Carpal Tunnel.

What can we do??
