Hi guys,

Here's an update on my situation. I have had some progress with nerve pain medication ( taking 20mg of Pamelor) and I'm starting therapy next week. My dr thinks I should be able to go to work in a few weeks (which would be awesome), however, I am really worried that I won't be able to perform, I still have pain and my hands/arms still feel like there is a hidden claw ripping in there.

If I do try to go back and I fail like before, I will reset my elimination period for LTD again and I really can't afford that anymore...I have already been at home unpaid for 4 months. LTD and WC have not made a decision.

I also have an app with Dr Lavor from Tucson on the 27th, the vascular surgeon.

Should I try to go back even if I am still in pain? If the pain stayed at this level I would be ok with it I guess, but if it escalated then it's no good.

Advice?
