Injuries - December 2006

How do I know If my workers comp claim is accepted or denied?, Who says yes or no. My benefits were suspended and my employer said it was not work related because they thought I had an epileptic seizure but it wasnt like that. I had head concussion and a nerve problem. in my lower back I got an attorney but how do I know If my claim is accepted or denied who says yes or no the board or the company?

One of my eyes hurts and stings and feels like there is something in it..........I looked in the mirror and aside from it being red and teary, on the white part there is like a thick layer of clear stuff that moves when touched, but doesn't wipe away....it almost feels like it is a contact lense that has gotten stuck to my eye, but i don't think it is. I do wear contacts, but have my glasses on right now. It is really freaky looking, never seen anything like this before........any ideas??

I am only 21 and have two herniated disks between lumbar L4-L5 and L5-S-1. I have gotten an MRI and they are compressing my nerve, I believe the lower one was protruding 5mm, and 4mm for the other disk with disk height roughly cut in half and bottom two disks have lost a good portion of their water content. I have had pain everyday for 7 months now, and though it is to a manageable point, I am not able to do any real activities like running, training, and basketball. I have went to see chiros, did PT, elec. therapy, decompression, traction, ice/heat, vitamins, exercises, and had cortisone shots with nothing seeming to help. I am looking at possibly going for a more invasive treatment now. Has any one been through this with a similar situation and been able to really come back? It might sound dumb, but it is important to me to be active again, at least for a few years, I'd rather die at 30 being able to move then like this for the rest of my life, its not living for me.

I am having pain, numbness, and tingling of my fingers but doc says it is not the nerve involved with carpal tunnel. It is affecting my pinkie and ring finger and most of my palm. He explained it's the other nerve that runs to my hand that is affected. This is affecting my grip,sleep and most important my driving. I finally have an appointment with a nerorologist next week but this has been going on since October. Does anyone know the name of the nerve or any possible treatments?

Paying for all his medical needs regarding the injury, like physical therapy, facet injections etc. His company might end up settleling with him after the surgery and his lawyer told him that he MIGHT get 40k, to us that amount sounds unfair, his back is messed up big time and even tho we are not after the money, his life has changed dramatically after the injury, (emotionally and physically), there for we think 40k doesn't meassure up to the injury, so my question finally is: How and where can we find out what would be the right amount to settle for with a back injury that ended up with surgery?

I'm told that injecting chicken comb oil into my knee will work. Any suggestions? This was due to a horrible injury- everything is good now except this.

Last night, I dropped a trash can on my big toe right at the base of the nail. Wow! It really hurt! I put ice on it - helped a little. I couldn't sleep last night because it was throbbing and hurt so much. I took Ibuprofen, but that only helped a little. The nail is dark purple, but there is no external blood. It feels like it's under pressure. Is it necessary to go to the doctor? I doubt it's broken. Besides, there's nothing a doc can do about a broken toe. What can I do to make it feel better?
