I have been diagnosed as having a sprain exerted on my common extensor origin from the lateral epicondyle and a severe jarrig effect on the outer aspect of my left elbow.
The consultant has written that activity modification and elbow clasps and even cortizone injections may be necessary -
- YET he has also written (to my sheer disbelief) that he believes the injury should have no long term job related implications.
In my belief tennis elbow will have a little place on insurance forms and application forms for various occupations.
As I am licenced to deliver all goods of a hazardous nature including explosive- I have doubts in my own abilities as to whether my arm will be an element to consider when evaluating potential threat/ danger etc.
Do you think I am right or do you think I’m paranoid and no employer or insurance company can legally differentiate or be prejudiced against me after suffering this condition?
Do insurers or employers have prejudice for this ?
