Default WC

Yes all documented. Stuck in WC system. Debating the cash basis side if required. Presently OT is not seeing any improvement and is considering sending recommendation to treating DR for ortho DR refferal. Have had atty since a few weeks after accident as work mngmt kept pushing to keep me at work.

Finally had TIA, headache and PCS dx at ER visit. Sorry for so late a reply. Have returned to work 1/2 day and it is wearing me out.

Default wc struggles...

I am dealing with WC - I have a list of ortho injuries - just saw doc today. I had a semi failed shoulder surgery - seems WC only sees any injury through to a stabilization stage. so if back is not to bad while sitting then voila youre curred in their eyes. The auto on the other side is where I believe you are to be medically treated for the injury and loss of use. It would be interested to know if in your state you can now go to the doc of your choice. In PA it is 90 days.
I wish I could go back to the job I was doing if only to verify or see firsthand if I could keep up and handle that type of inviornment. I was in technology and I was told it is one of the most multi-tasking type vocation to be in.

Default WC rules

In VA no, you cannot break the chain or refferal unless you want to go out of pocket. My return to work is just sitting in a chair 4 hours a day. So It is not work in any sense.

Hi I was in an auto acident a year ago. I had a good chiro, but made the mistake of working at reduced hours and in pain etc.. I got worse, but the ortho Doc I saw did nothing further and I cotinued to get worse. Esp in Neck. I am in CA. Is there anything or anyone can do to help me esp in my neck this far out? I have had a lot of changes in neck/back..
