Legal Question in Workers Comp in Texas

Workmans comp claim denied

I am a processor for a mortgage company and have been there for over a year, I noticed pain in both of my wrist's and weakness, and numbness, I notified my employer they filed a claim and the insurance company turned it down after the doctor saw me and the insurance gave the verbal authorization to be seen. I am in a lot of pain and have to rely on my hands for my work. They told me since it wasn't an obvious injury that workman's comp doesn't not cover carpal tunnel.
