Is carpal tunnel syndrome a workman's comp injury? I work in a repetitive motion job that caused my carpal tunnel, but my orthopaedist said it is not

In Virginia a carpal tunnel injury can be a workers compensation injury. However, the doctor must rule out all other causes of the problem and say the carpal tunnel came exclusively from a repetitve activity you did at work. Often it is very hard to get a doctor to do this. You need to meet with the doctor and explain what repetitive activity you do at work you feel caused the problem.
