What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? I live in California and was just told by a specialist that I have osteoarthritis in my fingers and he told me to file a workman's comp claim thru work, which I did, they sent me to there doctor's and the doctor kept telling me I would be denied because this is a age thing more than a injury, I am 46 years old and this just happen overnight. I did not have this 2 months ago, I have bumps on my joints and it is very painful. My work sent me home because there doctor limited me so much they have nothing for met to do. Do I have a claim.
