My husband suffered a fall at work resulting in a mtbi, pcs, numbness/tingling l hand & foot, back pain. Now dealing w/addiction issues to pain meds, & severe depression. Happened 3 1/2 months ago, bounced around to differant dr's, er depts,hospitals etc since it is workmans comp now we are waiting for an appointment with a neurologist. In the meantime no one will treat him untill we get a clearance from the neurologist. Very concerned due to worsening symptoms. Have called attorney, state, family dr ,getting no where fast.it seems like one problem leads into another. Like watching a train wreck happen and cannot stop it! I guess my next plan of action will be to try and get him some help for the depression while we are waiting for workmans comp to do their job and get us an appt.

Very frustrated & worried!
