Hi Charliebubs,

I'm glad you're doing better. I am still getting some benefit from the last block I had a little over a month ago. I'm getting twinges, the hot spots come and go, the throbbing headache and pain is there, but it hasn't totally flared up yet.

For what its worth, if it were me, I wouldn't settle the PI claim if it affects your medical. You don't know the long term efficacy of these procedures and it will probably have to be repeated. I'm in the "wait and see" stage with mine. I would be cautious about any type of settlement.

Take care!
Thanks EE

I do agree with you in part, but I have been to see an independent orthodaedic specialist as part of the claim and he is going to add his long term/future prognosis into his report for the insurance company. They should then make an offer for settlement based on the fact that I am likely to have to have the procedure again.

I really just want to get the claim over with and get the insurance company off my back.

I can always have more treatments in the future if needed, as I have private health care which will cover the cost.
