Still waiting for the list of approved psychiatrists. Once it comes I'll take it from there. I am sort of having a massive massive freak out right now. I am on worker's compensation for a neck injury from work (two herniated discs C4-5 and C5-6). At the two year mark they do an exam to evaluate if you've improved, do a disability rating, and see if you can go back working without restrictions. As it is now (btw I am an overnight cashier at Walmart) I am only allowed to work 4 hours a night, can't lift over 10lbs, can't do any reaching, and I can not check people out on the large registers only the self check outs.

I am absolutely terrified of this exam. I could lose my job, or worse get put back on full duty when I know I am not ready for it because of how bad my neck is. And it could mean that my neck might never get fixed. I don't know what I'd do if any of that were to happen. Some of the doctors I have seen are quite dismissive of me thinking I am exaggerating and such. I'm not. I have a very high threshhold for pain, as is obvious from my level of SI. And the pain I have from my neck knocks me on my bum everytime. I'm tired of being in pain constantly. I want to be fixed, and I want them to realize that I am not exaggerating things and that I need to continue with the restrictions. Ugg what do I do to show them that I need them?
