MY injury was a cervical strain with slight disc bulges in the cervical spine which happened assisting moving a patient at a hospital. With required modified duty of office work new symptoms arrived, and my diagnosis currently is occipital nerve entrapment syndrome and trigger points of the neck and back. The result of this is burning pain/headaches over the top of my head and head pain with any resisted arm movements(like lifting groceries, etc)

To complicate matters, I also have MS, which has been stable the last 3 years, but worker's comp wants to blame my symptoms on that. Even though my neurologist states that it's not the MS. So I'm in process of a QME review, and since I got the letter stating they retained an attorney, i guess they'll try to fight his decision if he states it is work related.

Anyway, that's it it a nutshell. Thanks for all the replys. I feel like putting my head in the sand like an ostrich and hope it all goes away, but obviously that's no solution.

Take care , Diana
