Tracy,
Thoracic Outlet syndrome and other Thoracic conditions can often affect
the sympathetic nervous system and lead to swelling, redness, sweating
and/or pain in the hands.
First port of call would be a specialist Occ Health Physio assessment to
land a diagnosis and look at all MSK related possibilities.
Let me know if you any need help with assessment.
Wayne.

Good Morning
An employee expereinced swelling of her fingers and pins and needles at
night. GP stated it is because she has started a heavier role and that
she will get used to the symptoms(?) Now continued for 18 months before
being reported to OH. I have assessed her work place and appropriate
rotations/practices are in place. no reported outside activites which
could contribute. I have advised that this role may not be suitable for
her and advised her of possible long term dammage. She is insistant she
want to remain in the role and has not had any absences. Please can you
advise me of where the Business should go from here. If the symptoms
persist or increase and she insists on working knowing that the symptoms
are likely to conitnue can she? Should the Business terminate the
employment? Is there anything else I have misssed. I woudd just like
some advice please as I am sitting here on my own querying my actions!
Thank you.
