sky your attorney can or should be able to get an independent evaluation done. mine did thank goodness! whatever you do don't make yourself do things you know you can't do. you can do a small attempt but don't push it too far. the slightest pain you tell them and stop! my dr had me at a 10 lb weight limit. the fce took me down to 5. so it did work in my favor. good luck with it! mine was done at a physical therapy office.
