My husband received a work related injury to his knee, meniscus torn, went on L & I, had surgery last nov. he had his impairment rating and concurrence with his physician, rating as 10% whole body. 2 months ago he tore his other meniscus on his other knee (not at work, just walking) we believe it was from the stress put on his good knee compensating the bad knee. L & I found out he was going to have surgery and told him if he did not continue with vocational services he may not get anthing from them, he decided against the second surgery...so now, will he get a settlement for his first injury covered on L & I, and if so when? it has been since Aug. when he had the imparement rating, they changed claims managers and the new one is really mean and threatened he may get nothing because of the other knee, is this legal?

I just removed my cast after breaking my radius bone at the wrist (the one in line with the thumb) and now i can move my ulna bone (the one in line with the pinky finger) when i press down on it, there is also some pain there when i bend my wrist upwards or try to bounce a ball, is it normal that the bone suddenly becomes moveable ?

This is a personal question. Last year I went to the emergency room with a bladder infection. Which isnt very serious, but is very uncomfortable and painful. When asked why I was there, i told them exactly what i had but accordingly they did urine tests to be exact. The doctor then came back with the results of the urine test and then told me i was pregnant. Being only 19 years old and very unaware that it was even an option i sat alone in the ER room hysterical. A nurse then came in and drew blood to see how far along the pregnancy was and asked many questions regarding it. An hour later the doctor came back and said, "Bad news is you have a urinary tract infection, good news is your not pregnant, the woman in the lab marked the wrong box." So he drew up a prescription and sent me on my way". Now, when the bill came it had 3 pregnancy tests at $75 dollars each, the blood work, and other tests expenses that were never needed. I havent payed the bill yet and im not sure if i should.

It started Friday morning. I was going to go to the ER for it but it kind of stopped huring for a little bit after a good nights sleep. I bought an eye patch for it, but even that didn't seem to help because seeing bright light with my right eye even seemed to hurt my left eye. I will be going to the optometrist on Monday to get it looked at. My question is... what is this? Also, my left eyes pupil is dialated while the right is normal.

I found a "house cat" living under my house. After a week I decided to go get him and found that he was pretty tame. I brought him into the house to put him in a cage until I could call the Cat Rescue on Monday morning. As I carried him to the cage I was going to hold him in, my cat saw him and began to hiss. The cat I had in my hands freaked out and one of his claws caught the knuckle on my left hand. The puncture wound wasn't that bad when it happened, but was a bit deep and I had cleaned the wound out right away. Ten hours later my pointer finger and middle finger are in horrible pain, especially when I try to bend them. Also, to the left of the puncture wound I have developed this red swollen area that wasn't there earlier in the day. Now I have been scratched by my cat several times and this has never happened. I am not sure if I should go to the ER or if this is normal...

I know for sure that I can't drink alcohol while on the Motrin I've been taking. But what if I switched to Tylenol 1's for the pain? (Had a tooth removed). I'm going to an event that I'd really like to drink at.
