They could take on the case.

Vibration White Finger, also known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, is a type of Raynaud’s disease. The condition is also known as the vascular component hand-arm vibration syndrome, aka HAVS.

It is an industrial injury that can be attributed to working with tools that emit heavy vibrations. These can include such items as pneumatic drills, hammers, kango and grinding tools.

They can also include windy guns, descaling guns, needles and jigger picks.

It is believed that long term usage of certain tools can damage nerves and blood vessels of person’s fingers. This can lead to whiteness and tingling, along with numbness and pins and needles.

These symptoms can be referred to as Secondary Reynaud’s Phenomenon or Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.It is considered that they will fade as soon as workmen have finished using those tools. This suggests that they are directly related to the work that they may do.
