Not sure what to do
 
Hi everyone it's been quite some time since I've been here.
Update: L4 L5 Laminectomy followed by L5S1 spinal fusion.
Work cover covered the operations and settled the claim with 27% permanent impairment. Have been back at work one year and fell through a doorway onto my back. Have been off work since August. I've had Caudal a steroid epidural 2 weeks ago with little improvement. Work over want me to return to work in some capacity. They said the claim would have to be settled if the specialist can't do any more. They also told me that since I had settled earlier and because I have aggravated the existing past injury then I could only get a percentage of that.
So basically I won't have enough to live on so I will have to return to work and manage as best I can.

I'm taking 3000 mg gabapentin per day and 200mg of antriptaline
per day. I stutter when trying to explain things due to the gabapentin and have also had a couple of falls.


Sorry for the big story.

I'm sorry this has happened. Shame on the insurance industry. I hope you can find a job that will work out for you. :hug:
