Misdiagnosis?

[down]

State of Calfornia

I had a slip and fall at[/b][/u] work in May 2008. Very hard fall to my right side. I had xrays done at the time.
Over time I was still in pain but keep working.
I finally had a MRI done same year . Basially came back normal.
Had a nerve study. Abnormal and weakness on right leg.
Made p&S on si joint in May 2010. Could not return to usual and customary duties.
No prolong standing, sitting, and a few other things.
Doctor wanted to move injection(from si joint) because I was getting little relieve.
Denied injection. New xray said narrowing of disc.
Today new Doctor looked at the first MRI and said a tear in a disc.
I have been treated all this time for si joint and I had a tear.
Everyone went off Radiologist report.
I don't know if this changes anything in my W.C. case. The problem is L-4 OR L-5.
Does anyone knows if this happens often?
Now I'm wondering if I should get a second opinion on last DVT scan if it was really clear of clots? Done at same place.

I sure wasn't expecting that. Since Jan. 2010 when I had my DVT scan done in the emergency room because my right leg was swollen and throbbing with non weight bearing.The day before I worked 16 hours. I have been questioning the results. I took a disc to the oncologist and he said he would take a look at it. Well next visit he said something like it had a password on it and he couldn't open it. He seem to be not interested in it. So I let it go but, now I will try and get it re-read by someone.
I read a few of your other posting and sorry to hear that you are going through so much right now. Good luck and I hope everyone makes a speedy recovery.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my postings.

I probably was looking at a old posting. I'm new on here and learning as I go along.

Actually if my Attorney's office would call me I probably wouldn't have found this site. That probably says alot about my attorney right there.

I can relate to the cooking. My husband had a Birthday party. Small family get together and I paid during and after too. I normally enjoy it, love to cook but, that was very painful. From now on I will plan and do alittle each day ahead. We use to have all the family over for Thanksgiving and I would do all the cooking and love the planning of it all. Now it's what family member house are we going to this year? lol

Maybe I will actually get treatment now and feel better. I have about 5 to 6 days to wait and see if I will get approve for new MRI and then scheduling. Last time comp had me drive 90 miles for a seven view lumbar xray. (90 miles one way). Oh course 5 to 6 business days.
