Hi to all my fellow workers compensation friends! I was injured on 4/27/1990 at work, my case continues almost 19 years later. I have to see Dr. Sam Ahn in L. A. this week for the Agreed Medical Exam final report. I have had 6 surgeries for a work injury to remove scar tissue and the 5th surgery I got a staph infection from the operating room at UCLA. This left me with worse chronic pain than ever at my left and right clavicle's worse on the left radiating pain in every direction. (TOS) I have been unable to work since the staph infection in 2000 and remain a chronic pain patient. I do not want anymore invasive tests or surgeries. My pain medicine physician says there is a 1 in 10,000 chance any surgery would improve my condition. My daughter says for me to just answer Dr. Ahn's questions at the appointment. Does anyone have any helpful advise for me as I go to the agreed medical exam? I sure hope my case is settled in the near future as 19 years with a workers compensation attorney and waiting for a final settlement is certainly a long time out of my life. Any suggestions for my visit would be appreciated. I don't feel like Dr. Ahn is on my side at all! Thanks in advance. Jacqueline
