Default Any advice for QME exam

Hi, I have my QME exam this Friday.To recap:neck strain from lifting patients, modified duty(office work) worsening neck/ head symptoms, WC MD feels it's my MS acting up. I disagree.

Current symptoms: burning pain back of neck over head to forehead which grips in pain if intensity increases, which happens with pretty much any resistive activity. Pain specialist feels it is coming from my neck so scheduled a cervical epidural the 31st.

Just wondering how this is going to go since my symptoms are "invisible" Any advice/information for me?

Thanks, Diana

that's a tough one - have you posted on the MS forum - maybe to compare with others sx there??
And if any have a secondary injury along with the MS, how do they sort it out??

As far as the MS sx hopefully your MS dr has good records and a timeline of all your sx up to date of your injury - then those would be compared to any new sx that showed up after injury...

I know that sounds logical and the way it should happen but wc & QME stuff isn't very logical

I wonder if the cervical epidural would help to prove or disprove the MS vs injury symptoms?
