I’ve been living in Switzerland for almost a year now and in the past I have had some problems with my wrists. When I went back to my home country for Christmas I had a scan that confirmed mild carpel tunnel Syndrom and had a cortisone injection which worked great for a few weeks. I currently work in a rental store where I’m constantly using my wrists and the numbness over night is crazy uncomfortable even with wearing wrist guards and even after the injection. After seeing a GP here in Switzerland I have an specialist appointment soon and I’m almost certain it will be surgery. I’m just a bit worried that this won’t be covered if it’s kind of ‘existing’? However, this job has made it unmanageable now. If anyone had any advice on the matter and also on the topic of being covered my normal salary for the recovery etc? (My current work contract finishes in April when the ski season finishes) So not even sure if I would get the financial support because I wasn’t due to be working then anyway. Basically just want to know if this is going to financially ruin me 😂 thanks in advance friends! submitted by /u/niftyflamingo
