Hello Everyone

I would like to say this is a great community and has a great deal of useful information here.

I'm here today because I suffer from peripheral neuropathy(sensory radial nerve damage) . This was a result from an accident/surgery.

I know that a person can request reasonable accommodation under ADA from their employer. I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge about whether or not neuropathy would be considered something that is covered by the ADA.

I work in a manufacturing and things can be pretty repetitive as you can imagine. I work with a lot of older people and I'm the youngest one there and most expect that since I'm young that I must do all of the work and when I complain I'm the bad person. I'm stuck doing the same task all day while other employee are allowed to rotate between job task. This can be a bit much especially when I'm having a bad day due to my neuropathy.

My question: Is peripheral neuropathy covered under the ADA for reasonable accommodation?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

About 5- 6 years ago I fell and handed on an outstretched hand. The impact of the fall made a hematoma/ganglion cysts on my wrist. The doctors tried every before resulting to surgery. By the time surgery was done the hematoma was entangled in the nerve and in order to remove it the radial nerve had to be cut. This left me with neuropathy of the sensory radial nerve in my hand/wrist.

Two EMG/nerve conduction test was done with 3 years apart and there was no change. They said it was the best it would get. Some days are okay and some are just horrible. I have numbness, sensitive to touch (the lightest touch sometimes can cause extreme pain), pain (sharp, stabbing, burning) and can't feel temperature in part of my hand.
