I had it in one wrist, and would do it all again in a heartbeat!

As to whether a company has to accomodate you or not, while I recognize there may be some oddities in state laws, my experience has been that unless you are disabled, in accordance with the ADA, there really isn't a 'law' that says someone must accomodate your situation.

The term "reasonable accomodation" is linked to the ADA, not to anyone's statement of their general condition.
