carpal tunnel syndrome & radiculopathy

[Michael.j.greene1]

hello,

i am rated static for radiculopathy right and left at 20% now i also have carpal tunnel syndrome mild on left hand modarite on right any guess on what i would be looking at for a %

my worries is that they will lower my rating for the radiculopathy and cause me to lose my 100% rating or will it just add to it because i it is all rated as nerves in the hand

What exactly are you filing for? Its hard to know what you are asking without more details. The ratings schedules are based, much of the time, on range of movement of the affected limb. If you look them up you can see what the ratings are for a range of motion, provided you know what your range of motion is. Is it diagnosed as 'carpel tunnel' or is it called something else? You want to look for the exact condition that you have in the ratings schedule. Ive posted (link) the musculo-skeletal ratings schedule below.
