Default Attorney's

Sandy, I am not sure of the entire history, but attorneys do not charge to consult and they can figure out the best thing. In my daughters case she had injury at one employer and escalation at second employer.
She ahd two cases, what we should have done was filed dual at one time...
But, I guess it was fastest to take the first employer whre she had a claim open an they stopped benefits to go with that and reopen. So we did. The second case the judge was from the first case and he dedcided just having TOS would get worse, even if she did not work. BUT the contention was she had TOS, and functioned in the job a year, then new symptoms, CT and zingers happened. There were massive spasms across the traps and she was going to the pain doc for trigger points every other week to get through the work day. She was working in a major bread distrabution center. It got bad when her coworker went on maternity leave and the tons of data and all the massive phone calls coming in were taken care of by her.

She cradled the phone on her TOS side shoulder and WHAM she was never to gain control over the symptoms they snow balled.

Glad you got the avatar thing figured out,
Di

Default Injured

Hi, I love your avitar, it is adorable. Just my 2 cents, but I think a good lawyer is in order here. Like Di said, you can have a free consult. It could determine how your case goes, they have more experience with your situation. We do not really know the entire story. Please take the time to ask around and see a good attorney. We care about you and want only the best for you.
Hope

Hi Dimarie,

I am trying to get in touch with you. I am a scared 31 year. old recent TOS patient. You seem to have a wealth of knowledge on the subject. I would love to get a hold of you. Please contact me. I am not sure how to work this forum.

Perhaps Jo or curious will help assist with the problem,

You mention having ongoing problems with the arma dn shots of cortizone, if you have a repetative job the onset for w/c would be the start of those treatments.; this is seen as a n escalation of the injury.

Just because the surgery was years later does not mean it is a new injury, it is an escalation of the previous exsisting from the job duties.
I would consult an attorney to protect your rights.

I would consult with another doctor also, not the surgeon that did the surgury, he will never admit he did soemthing wrong, and it seems like the surgery escalated a real problem by shaving down the collor bone or digging in the area he was in.

Another thing, some people heal very slow from surgery, they do have swelling from truma. It could take a year to calm things down, not that it is the situation but is a possibitly,

Do you try to do things at home. Some gals are type A personality, spic and span homes, and always keeping physiacally busy while healing. Not that that is your case but I thought I might mention just in case you are over doing.

It sounds more like you have trouble taking cloithers from hangers let alone being a merrymaid.

I would find a top doctor to diagx and advise you before things get worse.
Having an EMG is not a top priority. It is similar to if you fell and strained your ankle; unless you broke it it is not going to show the muscle strain or nerve problems on an xray.

Jsut a couple thoughts, but please consult an attorney, most are free for a consult.
Even escalation of previous condition is their problem and why the boss dows not want you back, too late for him to use that arguement.
Keep us posted
Dianne

I'll send her a PM and maybe that will help.

If she answers you via PM, you can "reply" to the PM back. In a short time of posting, your own PMs will activate.
