It can be due to the neck problem.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have read your problem in detail. The pain and swelling in both the wrists could be due to carpal tunnel, tennis elbow or cervical radiculopathy due to the cervical spondylosis. This needs proper investigations like MRI scan and NCV studies to find out the exact cause of symptoms. All the causes should be covered under workman's compensation.
You can consult a neurologist for proper investigations. Then only you should decide regarding the surgical treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

Cervical spondylosis is mild.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The MRI findings are suggestive of a mild degree of cervical spondylosis. This is not likely to cause the severe pain that you are having since there is no nerve root compression involved. There is only a mild foraminal narrowing.
The pain is more likely to be due to arthritis.
Let us wait for the complete results.
Hope my answer is helpful.
If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
