I do have a lawyer. I just wanted to know what other people think.

If you are in the US, rejecting an offer of settlement is not bad. As long as you are unable to work, and have a doctor's excuse to be off work, the W/C carrier has to pay your temporary total disability payments.

Just wait for the next offer. Also you must get an attourney. The settlement must be enough to compensate your injury and any limitations it represents for future employment. The attourney gets 33 percent of the settlement. But without an attourney you will get your medical payed and not much else.

No, never take a first offer. Hold out as long as you can. I hope you have an attorney.

It sounds like you need the advice of someone who handles Workers Comp appeals, don't do anymore on your own, until you talk to someone.

Unless the circumstances have changed, and they know this, they'll probably still settle.
Call and ask. They don't want to go to court.
