I still don't have a diagnosis yet after 14 months and back in October, WC sent me to one of their neurosurgeons who of course couldn't find anything wrong with me (based just on a MRI of my cervical spine and the EMG report). My attorney had this appointment set up where it would also count as my independent medical exam. I only saw this neurosurgeon one time and he is now recommending that I have a functional capacity exam. Could someone explain to me the difference between an independent medical exam and a functional capacity exam and how you can have either when you don't even have a diagnosis?
