Carpal Tunnel/Repetitive Stress Syndrome in TN-Workers Comp Issue

[Tizz]

Ok as of today I have worked almost 2,000 hours and thats not including a few paid holiday's that I left out!I added up all my hous on my paystubs. So I guess with that being said,I would qualify for FMLA,Right??

I live and work in Middle TN which is a "Right To Work State" which actually sucks if you ask me. At any rate when can I use FMLA? Would it be combined with WComp or seperate time off. Like I said in my other posts,I have not missed any time from work because of this injury but as it gets worse I need to be seen by a Dr again.I was debating about going back to my own Dr. this week before filing the WComp but wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not.I don't want to keep waiting because the longer I wait the less I want to even stir up any fires at work.

This is just soooo damn frustrating!!! Once I report this and file with my job,how long does it take to be able to be seen by a Dr they choose or do I choose 1?? And since I haven't lost any work time because of this problem,Will that make a difference when filing? I can still do my job but the part that I need to stop doing is using that damn Staple removal tool because its causing this in the 1st place. So do I need to wait to file and go back to my own Dr. or go ahead and file and wait to see 1 of there Dr's??? I am so confused and worried by all this. Thanks again.
