BK....when my shoulder was bad....my surgeon sent me for PT PRIOR to surgery, as he said the joint would benefit by healing better if it was in shape and fit when he did the surgery. It increases blood flow to the area.
Too bad he screwed up the surgery, and I had to wait 9 months before being allowed the surgery.

stiffnecked Wrote:IC's will pick who they want. These exams should not be called IME's. There is nothing independent about them. They are more appropriately called EME's. That the Employers Medical Exam. If you state workers comp board sends you to an exam with a doctor of their choosing then that would be considered an IME.

LOL boy aint that the truth

Stiffneck- I went for PT for 5 months before the surgery on my shoulder. It didn't help just caused more damage. I had a torn roator cuff, cracked collar bone and partical dislocation. The surgeron did more damage to the arm and it is not repairable now. It has been five years and continues to hurt and continued to have no strenght.
