RE: fall
hi burra if i were you i would be getting things looked at any fall with a fusion is not good.....my opionon is you need another mri and x-rays to make sure things are good.the pain could be from swelling and be pinching a nerve.its best you call ur dr.that did the surgery and see what he/she has to say,better safe than sorry.
Each day is not a rite,it's a given. |

RE: fall
call your lawyer now he/she can quide you better than we can on this.......if you dont have one get one ASAP that deals with both WC and accidents
;)Workmans comp is not a road you want to travel alone.You need a good lawyer,a great family and good friends to lean on.If you make it thru without losing everything you have worked for all your life,you have come out ahead of the game.....

RE: fall
I had a similar situation...10 wks. after my fusion, I slipped on a spill in a store and then again, at about 16 wks. I fell in a grocery store. Both times I filled out the same incidet type of report and they too gave me their info. But, I just went to my own Dr. and w/c paid for it. I figured it my Dr. took Xrays etc. and something serious came of the falls themselves, then I would report it to the individual stores. I thought if I went to the ER and charged it to the stores and then they found out that I had a pre-existing injury that caused me to fall easily, they may not pay for the ER and I would then have to fight with them.
I don't know if tat would have happened or not, but that was my immediate thought. |

RE: fall
If Your Pain gets too Severe, by All Means go to the E.R and get Checked Out!! Then let Your Attorney sort things out. Your Health is More Important so don't Worry about the Paper Work if You feel You need Checked!! I Hope You feel Better, and All is Well!
Failed Back Surgery, Chronic Pain, Totally Disabled. Knowledge is Power, Especially in the World of w/c. Learn as Much as You can about Your States w/c Laws, and don't Fight Battles alone, They Use Attorney's, and so Should You!! |
