Tenosynovitis is a condition classed as a Work-related Upper Limb Disorder (also known as Repetitive Strain Injury) which can result in loss of grip and effective use of the fingers. It is sometimes known as Tennis Elbow.

A doctor will diagnose tenosynovitis when there has been inflammation of the synovial sheaths of tendons. This causes pain but often the pain can dissipate following a period of rest. However, it can cause significant pain and discomfort resulting in time off work for some sufferers.

If you have suffered Tenosynovitis as a result of your working conditions, it may be possible to make a tenosynovitis compensation claim.

• Roofing
• Manual handling
• Product packing or assembly
