Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) depends on the severity of the condition and how long you have had it. In some cases, CTS will improve after a few months without treatment. Moving your hand or shaking your wrist can often help relieve the symptoms.
The Social Security Administration has a strict definition of permanent disability, and it only pays benefits to people who cannot work because they have a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death.
Social Security Disability doesn't have a limit on unearned income, but there is a limit on how much you can make from working. Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) is available to individuals who can no longer work due to an established disability (physical or mental).
