    I'd just be glad that they are better. From what I can gather it's highly likely that you will find in a year or two you are back where you started. I have

     no idea what your job is but if you just return to doing what you have been doing then seems to be risk this will happen. Why some people get CTS and others don't again seems to be a very grey area. Good Luck

      Yes the reason I got cts is through the job I have been doing for the last 4 years and the work risk assessment said this job can cause cts,so work have admitted and are at fault,they have since stopped doing the job cause it can cause cts,so I'm going through a claim at the moment just wondering if any one else has ever claimed and how much they receive

    Not quite sure what you mean - how much you should get but workers comp varies from state to state. If your claim is approved your employer is responsible for all your medical, mileage, and lost time from work. At the end of one year your doctor will give you a permanent disability rating. Typically they average 1-3% of the total amount of loss of both hands completely. There really isn't much money to be had especially if you have to hire an attorney to handle your case. Scars on the hands are not compensable so you'll get zero there. These are pretty much the standards in CT. Maybe your state is a bit more generous? Good luck!
