Workers' Compensation Discussion Forums

if anyone can answer my question, I came back to work from 3 ankle surgerys in a year, coming back hasnt been the same working 60 a week iam always in pain and with no energy, what happens if I cant do my job anymore?

You then should go back and see your treating doctor, and talk with them about this.

rules are state specific as the "Important Thread" at the top of the forum has indicated.

Hi Gus....what State?

hi lilly it happened in Missouri Ive talked to my work comp case her name is angela and she hasnt given me any more info, I told my doctor about it but he said to get a job where it doesnt require that much walking. My job is not phisycal Iam a car saleman i work for more than 60hrs a week maybe 70% of the day I am walking I have had another surgery 3 years ago on my left ankle that was not work related but on my right ankle it was I had 3 surgeries in a year

Hi Gus!

Were you given any work restrictions by your doctor? If not, you need to return to him and tell him what's going on at work (all the walking & bad pain) Possibly you need more treatment or healing time. You certainly don't want to injure yourself even more!

you should take advantage of the vocational rehabilitation options missouri offers
