Bridgetteg2006 reacted to GBArmy in Carpal tunnel secondary to carpal tunnel
Bridgetteg2006 Welcome to Hadit. You have a reasonable chance on getting carpal tunnel on your right hand. It is possible that what causes an injury on one side can also result in a similar injury on the other side (bilateral.) If you have little in service records of complaints or treatment, it might stand a better chance if you try for secondary to your left hand. If you recently filed and were denied, and if it was less than a year, I would talk to a few specialists and see if you can get an IMO that supports the secondary situation. It will cost you a few bucks but you're going to need a nexus to support that claim, so without an IMO you don't have a lot of hope. That is what I would recommend.
