This site will not let let me reply to our posts from last night, not sure whats going on so i thought i would try it from here

I am having a very hard time replying to you, It will not let me do it! Anyways i have filled out my workers comp papers and they denied it saying ti was pre exsisting(which it was) i have been having cortizone shots and such for 2 years now,,They just got to the point where they did not work anymore so i had the surgery! that was a mistake at least then i could still use my arm and and hand. I have called my surgeon 4 times this week asking for the nerve test and he has yet to call me back! So im done i go see a hand dr next week i HOPE they find something.......yesterday and today i ahve been having a weird feeling it goes from my shoulder blade in back -under my arm-and 1/2 of my right breast.. Feels like i have been to the dentist and he numbed the wrong area!
Uhgggg

Hi Sandy I am sorry that you are having trouble with the sign in????
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

what kind of message are you getting when you try to reply?

did you try to refresh\reload the screen?

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.

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.

Hi everyone helping to reach me. crazy days, but I did send Michele and email. It was so good to hear from someone near by.....or far away.
Meeting new friends even though it is through TOS, keeps my life rich.

I will post on your page too Michele,
Just a stones through away from you.

hi sandy

be sure when you log in to click to the box that says "remember me". other wise every time you try and reply, you are "logged out" because the site doesn't remember you.

also choosing the Reply to Thread button instead of the quick reply helps.

depending on your browser, you may have to allow cookies and pop-ups from NeuroTalk. i know the extra smileys won't pop up if that isn't allowed.

i hope this helps.

Sandy Just clicking on the reply box will not work. Under a post on the RIGHT side, is an icon to use for a quick reply

This allows a no frills reply.

Or just click the
The LEFT side under responses "REPLY" button.

I just thought that maybe something that you were doing, using the box and it was not activated as a field to enter text????

LEt us know that your are able to reply OK,

Well this is my problem now, 1st off i dont understand that much about workers comp. BUT about 2 years ago when my shoulder started to hurt i was working at the airport loading all the heavy bags in the plane OVER AND OVER again for 6 months, i finally got to the point where i could not take the pain anymore and quit that job... I then went to waitress job and again could not do that! Then went to the hospital hoping that would be easier(guess not) ended up having surgery. SO to this company it is a pre exsisting condition, its all over my application that i had arthrits and such in my shoulders..I just got papers in the mail today that they denied and now want all my drs names that have treated me in the previous years..... Will they go back to the former employers? And would they cover it if it was only arthritis and such that was aggrivated by the repetative lifting at my first job?
AS far as cleaning, yea right! I do manage to do some but like you said not alot! I can put clothes on the hanger but forget about lifting them up into the closet, I cant lift anything over 5 pounds with my arm it just feels like the shoulder is coming right out of the socket....i do ALOT with my left hand inclding eating!
