If you are hurting constantly and needing meds daily please don't give up.

I have borderline conditions/injuries but require no meds.
{mild now -but were pretty bad for 2+ yrs}

I haven't returned to any full time work, just for the simple reason that I would most likely add to my pain and end up escalating my symptoms, ie: the future.

I wasn't hurt enough to receive benefits or at least not at a clear provable level. {drs couldn't or wouldn't be clear and firm about my RSI injury becoming permanent /chronic and my W/C atty didn't "believe" in TOS}.
So due to lack of drs / atty knowledge on chronic soft tissue/TOS type of injuries I did bail out.
But I did at least get a disputed claim settlement amount to close the claim.
