What can or does make this condition worse? Is there anything that people typically do in a normal day that can make this worse? I have been having severe pain for about two months now. Initially, I thought it was carpel tunnel or an ulnar nerve issue with my hands/arms...so I filed a workers comp claim through my employer. Long story short...I was harrassed by my employer with regard to the WC claim, the claim was dismissed because that wasn't the issue. I got the diagnosis yesterday of CPS....unfortunately, I was also terminated from my job yesterday due to issues directly related to my condition. I really need some answers. I know that what they did was wrong...they should have given me FMLA and allowed me to do short term disability in order to take care of this. I have been upfront with them all along on this.
