Ms. Eisenhauer, North Carolina workers' compensation claims typically fall into two categories. One is where there has been an accident and the other is a condition that develops slowly over time as a result of a workplace exposure. Your situation sounds like the second type, which is called an occupational disease. In order to have a claim for an occupational disease, your doctor will need to give an opinion that  something about your job, such as a specific type of repetitive motion caused your condition, and your job placed you at increased risk for the injury. More information about your sitaution woul be helpful. Another consideration would be a potential Social Security Disabilty claim if you will not be able to return to work.
