some of you know i am wrote up on workers comp and on sick leave for
tendon and ligament damage from fingers to shoulders. the doc is going
to try to get me on disability on this. at the same time he tried and
was ignored on getting my herniated disks in the c-3 to c-7 section of
my neck with bone spurs in the same area. the neuro told me today that
the steass and strain on the job was definately part of the neck problem
too and will continue to do damage. he is going to give me another mri to
see how far it has advanced since i first had it found in 1998.
we will apply for work related injury on it by itself, since they
already accepted the arms and hands. in addition, i'll get some new
medicine and botox injections as soon as they can schedule them.
  the doctor that found the disk problem wanted to do surgery. i told
him that with my muscles spasming as they did, i did not think surgery
was a good idea. the doc today just told me that under no circumstances
should i let anybody do surgery on my neck, because with my spasms, i'd
never heal up correctly and also said the elbows and shoulders should be
off limits as far as surgery.
that is my present circumstances. no surgery, new meds, botox
injections, and another work related injury claim to be put into the
system.
now you all know more than you wanted to know.
