Too young????

[bodybuilder1958]

I have asked my doctor 3 times about the redness, the unusual swelling in the front of my knee (it is strange my knee is more swollen in the front than anyplace else), how warm it is, etc. He just doesn't reply, just keeps on examining me. But he does the same thing to the insurance company, he's been asked 3 times about causation and he just doesn't reply.

When I had a cortisone shot in May my personal doctor questioned the unusual swelling. Told me that I needed to see an orthopedic doctor about it. Get some more testing done, when I saw my WC doc in June he took me off all restrictions, in October he put me back on all restrictions. But now he's put me at MMI with restrictions.

Question, at MMI with restrictions, does that equate to permanent disability at this time?

Thanks, stay warm,
