This is what they want you to do..give up!!!! I've been in and out of work, acroos the state for tests and exams and have been threatened 20 times to have my benefits suspended. But I finally realized about a year ago that they want me to give up; cry every time I get a letter. And I realized that I am strong enough to fight them...I didn't ask to be hurt and I need to fight for myself !!! I just turned 30 and have a husband, two kids, a mortgage and a car payment....and I have to fight hard to make sure I keep it all. It gets tough...and just when you tink you can't take it anymore, just remember what you have and how much you'll fight for it all!!!!!!! Someday it will be over and we'll all be able to sit back and think about all we've gone through and that this is just one of lifes many journeys that we survived!!!!!

They are doing the same thing to me. I have had 2 postponements. I am on pain meds all the time. I can hardly walk or sit. My legs go numb and my feet. They are now trying to force me to go back to work or they are going to fire me. I have had absolutely no treatment except for pain pills. i am very afraid I am going to fall again as I stumble a lot. I have no one to help me and have to walk to the store which takes me hours to go a couple blocks. The work comp doctor has been horirble and my social security has been denied. It took me 2 moths to get the doctor to take an MRI. It showed that there was a bilaeteral bulging disk and lilateral foraminal enchrochment. Which causing the numbness and tingling in my legs feet, and at times my arms and hands. The work comp doctor made me come to her office immediately and sent me to a surgeon and upped my pain med. dose. Now she says there is nothing wrong with me and actually told my work that I am faking. The last time I saw her she was extremely rude and nasty. Without my knowledge she set me up to return to work for 20 hours per week. never gave me that statement and was surprised by a registered letter ordering me to return to work immediately. I also 3 weeks after the fall began having chest pains and also am on nitro pills. Which my work says they have no knowledge of. They are assuming the chest pains are from stress. it almost gave me a heart attack. I knew the second I was injured there was going to be lots of trouble.
