Workers' Compensation Discussion Forums

I need some help have a work insury herni. disk work comp wants a rating from my doc.what does that mean i had a cordes. shot but i still hurt and doc is not a fan of surg. what ratings are good or bad

oh wow we need lots more info...start with your state date of injury and what has been done so far none of us are docs and ratings can vary from doc to doc have you spoke to a lawyer to try and get another doc?

ok it happend in november2007 i had mri it showed herni disk i lifted 50 lbs dog food im in montana i had phys. therp. cordes. pain pills im still hurting

No one can tell you what is a good or bad rating. EVERYONE is different, hence; we heal differently and ijuries affect us differently.

Some herniated disks can be healed with PT and some can not. I am not familure with your state laws, but you may want to see if you can get a second oppinion. I THINK, you will be able to. I can not believe there is a state that will not allow an injured worker to get a second oppinion.

I hope that helps, Take Care

I am with AQA on this one. You should get a second opinion if you still hurt. There is other treatments for you and maybe there is something more than a herniated disc.

PS. Curious how this is a wc injury lifting dog food. Do you work for a vet? What type of work do you do that you had to lift a 50lb bag?

i was checking out customer on the reg. at walmart
