Description

McDEVITT, C.J., BACKGROUND AND PRIOR PROCEEDINGS The record in this case indicates that since 1980 claimant Margaret Nelson
(Nelson) occasionally has suffered numbness and tingling in both of her hands. Nelson was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome
and possible thoracic outlet syndrome in 1980. She refused to undergo surgery to relieve the carpal tunnel syndrome. Nelson
continued to intermittently experience numbness and tingling in her hands until October 1988, when she began working on an
assembly line at Ponsness-Warren Idgas Enterprises (Ponsness-Warren). Her job required repetitive tightening of screws and
thus twisting and turning of her hands throughout the day. Soon after commencing work at Ponsness-Warren, Nelson's symptoms
of pain and numbness worsened to the point that she acceded to carpal tunnel release surgery on both hands in May 1989. Dr.
J.K. Pike, Nelson's treating physician, believed that Nelson suffered from a work aggravated condition. Although she experienced
pain in her left hand after the surgery, Nelson briefly returned to work at Ponsness-Warren in July 1989. Throughout 1989, Nelson continued to complain of pain in her left arm and shoulder, although Dr. Pike believed, as of October
1989, that her carpal tunnel syndrome was stable and resolved and that she should not be rated as permanently impaired from
the carpal tunnel syndrome. Dr. Pike noted that Nelson still suffered from other problems in her arms and shoulders and that
these problems precluded Nelson from working at jobs requiring heavy use of her left arm. A panel of physicians, hired by
Ponsness-Warren, examined Nelson in March 1990 and likewise concluded that she suffered no permanent partial impairment from
carpal tunnel syndrome. In contrast, another physician, Dr. James Brinkman, concluded that as of May 31, 1990, Nelson still
suffered from residual carpal tunnel symptoms. On September 28, 1990, Dr. Brinkman concluded that Nelson had suffered 10%
and 20% impairment of the upper extremity, apparently from carpal tunnel syndrome.
