Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / February 2008Question
Hi! It's been quite a while since I have written. I'm the one who got hurt at work and am fighting workman comp. My back got hurt and it does show 2 bulging discs but also sudden arthritis and degenerative stuff. Work comp is saying that it is all pre-existing and the truth is, my back was totally great until I got hurt at work. I have read posts about this kind of injury starting all the other stuff. Is there any place I can find medical info. that shows that an injury can start and be the initial problem for this kind of injury? My own FP doctor has never heard that it can. You all here are the real authorities on this. Please help. Thank you. NotYet You really need to contact a rheumatologist - we don't see or understand fully mri's, or such. Being online doesn't help. You need professional help in the form of a good rheumatologist and a good lawyer by the sounds of it. Let us know what happens. Sorry you are still in pain and unable to work. Kelly > Hi!

Your back is "it"? Or did you mean tests/X-rays/scans? > and also sudden arthritis..... WHAT type of arthritis? (Of the more than 100 kinds) > Is there any place I can find medical info..... Try the Arthritis Foundation (Google it if you don't have the URL) The American College of Rheumatology (Google it) Cedars-Sinai Comprehensive Rheumatology Services (Google it) > My own FP doctor has never heard that it can. I'm not surprised. A FP doctor has no specialized education, training, or experience with arthritis. That's like going to a tire shop for a leaking radiator problem. Why aren't you seeing a rheumatologist for the arthrits? ... What happens if you get scared half to death twice? ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 |
