I just saw my report from the AME (who is much better than the ones you guys see). End result he says I am now permanent and stationary and that medically I can't work. 30% disabled? I know my foot was 3 degrees lower temp than other foot. And leg is 1.5 cm smaller around and that's AFTER all the PT and rehab work. He noted the gait issue for me as well, and noted that the back pain and hip pain are considered 100% part of the work injury.

Oh my goodness, you saw someone who actually measured differences. This doctor deserves a medal for his veracity. I am glad that you had a “genuine” exam with valid findings.
