I have a return appointment with the work comp doctor next Thursday. At this appointment the doctor will place me at MMI, and I am okay with that.

My last appointment was June 16th and at that appointmnet the doctor scheduled a ESI which was done last week.

Wednesday will be the last day of physical & occupational therapy.
I've made good gains with the knee, but continue to have issues with the lumbar spine & right hand. I am working on learning what works for me to reduce pain so I can continue on with my life (the therapist have been a great help with this)

I want out of work comp and being place at MMI is the first step towards this.

Everyone have a fun & safe holiday.

Thanks everyone.

Inpain I am receiving physical therapy for the back 3X a week, also had an ESI of the left side last week. I have the least amount of pain on the left side, just wish the injection had been done on the right instead.

The neurosurgeon says I am a canidate for a fusinon of the lumbar spine but dosen't think it will help with the pain, then there is the issue of scar tissue.

I would like to be placed at MMI as I have another medical issue going on, not work comp related. I have been having problems with the tumor at T-12 again with 2 vertebreas that twist and do not stay in place.

I need to have this issue checked out ASAP and do not want work comp to confict with treatment I may need.
