One patient made a make shift ice pick assaulting the other patient that was throwing metal chairs. The left knee is established. With months of treatment therapy and injection, the knee continue to be problematic, consequential injury when the left knee gave out while exiting the shower. I fell and injured my neck,back and spine. Both doctors put in request for surgery. Spine symptoms severe pain, issues walking standing,dressing, showering. Severe weakness, frequent loss of bladder functions. On 8/17/17 I had an ACDF procedure, symptoms are progressing. I had a left knee arthroscopic surgery on 10/24/17. I was just informed by the surgeon that performed the Acdf surgery, that due to the ongoing symptoms I would require and additional surgery. My left knee and back are established. My neck has been again scheduled for an IME to determine if the neck is consequential. Last IME was directed to state weather the neck and back was consequentially related, but he only found the back to be consequentially related, due to a recent surgery in the cervical spine the IME Dr was unable to examine the neck. I’m certain after the next IME he will also find that the neck also is consequentially related.
What should I expect???
pick your own qme and get an opinion.
i read that they are releasing patients for work and then the insurance cuts you off even if you aren;t ready to work
