Karen,

I too am a "work comp case" as well, so, through those words alone, I feel your pain. Is your worker's comp case now resolved, or, is it ongoing right now. How did things end? What was your disability rating, and who, ultimately, got to decide what your disability rating was?

I have been dealing with worker's comp since August of last year. I just had my first IME two weeks ago, and, surprisingly, the IME went against the insurance company's wants, wishes, and persuation to justify MMI. I am sure there will be more IME's to follow, but, I guess I dodged bullet number one in that sense. I am seeing, for the first time, an RSD/Pain Managment Specialist for the first time tomorrow.

Sorry if I was asking too many questions of you, but, you, having gone through the worker's comp process, you know, I am sure, just how complicated it truly is. GRRR.

I hope that you are doing better, and that worker's comp didn't get the best of ya and win the war. They surely aren't set up to support the injured worker (or so it surely seems).
