As many of you know and the rest will learn. I injured my low back, L5-S1, 3/31/06 at work, I just bent down to pick up a small box, that contained 10 light switches. :0 I guess I moved wrong, cause my back popped and I have been out of work ever since. The only nice thing was that, all 4 of my boats, 1 truck, Tiff's car, were paid for, only had 2 payments left on my other truck. The first Dr that I was sent to was a joke, more of a Methadone Clinic, went to see a back cracker and after several visits was able to stand, somewhat upright. Still could not do anything, but atleast I didn't have to hold myself up to try and walk. I've been seeing an orthopedic for almost 2yrs, with zero relief. He is now refusing to refill my prescriptions, until he sees me again, but will not see me until I have an EMG,NCV tests done. I've been twice to have the tests done and the 2nd time the tech, stopped the test, said there's no way you can do this. See when the small electrical charge is sent, it tenses a muscle, that I've learned not to use, which moves L-5,S1 and hurts like HE!!. I went this morning to try and have the tests done again, got to the Dr's office, same place I was at 6m ago for the same thing, was told we don't have you on the schedule, in fact we don't do those tests until late afternoon. After a few PH calls they decided that they don't do these tests at all,WTF. I've had my last MRI looked at by another Dr and was told, that theres no reason for these tests and should have been in surgery a long time ago. I've had an FCE test and it's findings were, no sitting or standing for more than 30min, no walking more than a block at a time, no repetative bending, stooping, squatting and no lifting over 7lbs. I was denied disability, cause they said I can still work. I would like to know where you can work and not have to sit,stand,walk, or pick up anything. Yes I'm PO'd and thanks for letting me vent, almost ready to check out.
