Hi,

My opinion.
1) Get another attorney, look at our attorney boards.
2) Appeal

Good luck, Work Comp is a struggle

your case just seems a mess from your perspective.
these issues are handled every day by comp courts and will be based on the medical evidence. Prior conditions versus current injury is a common issue in every jurisdiction. Resolving differing medical opionions happens all the time in comp cases.
rarely are serious injuries without issues.
while the legal system seems to grind slowly when you are looking for immediate treatment there will be a resolution either from the judge negotiated settlement eventually. until then there are emergency resources available if you look for them

maybe you can use the prior settlement for the ongoing problems that were anticipated from prior injury.

if not, you share a situation with many in this country who are without adequate health care.
you need to contact city and county agencies. there are many who can provide emergency help.
contract your church or fraternal organization. they often have funds available for those in serious need.
contact your union.
the federal government also has programs for those with desperate health issues.

you need to start your own thread.
this one is about a pre-existing comp claim in new york.
if you can contribute to gorgesone's problem great but let's not confuse others by interjecting a different issue.
use the NEW THREAD command on the bottom left or top right of the page.
