I'm an injured worker in Ohio. I'm in what everyone from BWC to lawyers call limbo. MMI but not medically stable for VocRehab so I have no options for compensation. Wageloss or non-working wageloss isn't an option because the injury has worsened and laidup for a week every 2 months. Yet they want me to go to therapy that doctors have prescribed-aquatic. This form of therapy isn't consideration part of Vocrehab guildlines for acceptable therapy. How can they hold you responsible if you can't afford to go to these therapy sessions?
And just what does your Attorney State?
What kind of injury did you have that it is getting worse?
Did you get a second medical opinion about treatment options?
How long you been laid -up and out of work?
It seems like my attorney is content on waiting for appeal process so he gets a third of it. The injury is 3 herniated disks from a fall. I returned to work on advice of state doctors only for the injury to get worse. Currently have been laidup for about a year.
Well, you are saying nothing has been done to treat you?
What do you mean by State Doctor?
There is a reason for an Appeal, other than money, why is there an appeal?
Sorry I have been sent to physical and aquatic therapy but after the 6 weeks either there is no change or I have a flareup from the therapy. The state doctor is the IME doctor. The appeals were for the BWC certified doctor and the IME doctor disagreeing views. Money isn't the major factor here but very important to sustain life while no income from not working because this injury stops myself from gaining gainful employment.
