It's just so hard and stressful to go thru the process to prove TOS and then to prove the job caused it.
I can't recall if your sx are mostly vascular or nerve.
Or if you even got any really good PT at all?
Have you applied for disability at all, if not I would get started on that.
There's the short term disability and then the long term - I forget which letters are for which one SSDI or SSI?? I guess there is SSD too. 
you can find the forms/info on the gov site.

Thanks....my symptoms are mostly nerve I guess. I haven't really had much good physical therapy...it was more hit & miss & they really tried to rush me through it. My WC is still open, they wanted to close it out but I had my attorney stall it out so I can seek medical treatment on my own. My boyfriend is on disability, I know how hard it was for him to get it and he has a visible disability (amputation) and back problems and one of the things that made it hard for him to get it was that he was unable to see a doctor for several years. Has anyone been able to get SSI or SSD when there is very little documented medical info to back up the claim?
