So, I fell and sprained my foot and ankle September 18th. I just saw the orthopedic doctor. He doesn't recommend a cortisone shot which was what my doctor referred me to him for. He says let's wait another six months? ????!!!! I'm in so much pain I can't sleep. I can't sit, and I can't walk. I saw a lawyer who says I don't have a case unless a doctor says I have permanent damage. At this point, I personally think I do. Part of the reason this is so bad is the workman's comp didn't even allow me to see a doctor until 2 weeks after my injury. Then when ER recommended an MRI I didn't get that until months later. The doctor that referred me to the orthopedic specialist recommended a cortisone shot but now I won't get that until months later and I know they are planning on dropping me before then. I see a doctor in April and I asked what he was for. My nice workman's cpmp doctor told me his job is to see if there is any more that can be done fore me and if not they dump me and don't have to pay for anymore of my treatment which makes no sense. I guess if that happens, then they are admitting I will not get any better and have
my lawyer ask for a settlement. This whole thing is just unbelievable. One of the doctors. Who.was really rude and insulting didn't even know which foot was hurt, told me the swelling on the MRI meant nothing and all MRIs show that and when I told her my
problem was none of the meds were helping my pain or swelling she said, "if they aren't working, stop taking them." I told her I.was no better and being pushed /harrassed to ho back to work. She said, "why don't you then?" I explained that I can't elevate my foot to where it doesn't hurt so much because I work in a small cubicle and I don't have my own desk and it's very difficult to carry everything with crutches or a cane. Her response, well, no one said you shouldn't walk on that ankle. How many things do you have to carry?" Well a small file cabinet full. Most people push theirs around but I can't. Then I also have to carry a pillow and the cardboard box I use to elevate my foot. Oh and I went back to work I had no choice, but now I've missed two days again because being on it just
aggravates it. Oh disregard any words / letters below. I'm writing on an old phone and it doesn't let me scroll up or down to edit sometimes .thanks for letting me vent before I explode.

working, stop
