Hurt my back any doctors out there NF

[chessy]

well i went and had xrays with my back and it showed nothing.... after 6 months of pain i had a mir and it showed 3 non displaced fractures and 2 buldged disk and 1 perferated disk after that i had a nerv induction test and since that date i have had 5 mir and 3 nerv induction test and the nerv damage is perminate and deterorating... no offence but x rays are old technology. if your in as bad as pain as you say you are DEMAND A cat scan or mir . you can not go back to work till your doctor says you can . your family doctor over rules the comp doctors ... you should have also had a nurse case manager assinged to your case.... by the way comp is very very slow giving money, they try to force you to go back to work when really you cant. i almost lost my house untill they found damage to back, now they cant do enough for me they sent me to university for retraining .... ..I am no doctor or wsib pro i just know what i went through and can only tell you what i did ... once you get a comp number they will pay for mir and it will only take a few days to get one.... good luck..her exam was probably rolling from your heels to your toes right.... did she try to get you to turn foot in and out two....

I know WSIB can be a pain in the ass, problem is my pain is in the back!!! My worst pain is getting up from sitting for any length of time and going up and down stairs I know work wants me back on modified duties right away but as I mentioned my family doctor is away until July 12 and he was the one who sent in the initial return to work forms. At the time he didn't know how bad it was or how I would respond so he just recommended meds and no work for 1 to 2 weeks and modified work duties after. My employer came back with come back to work a couple days later on modified duties immediately and when I went to show this to my doctor is when I found out he was gone from the office until July 12 just my luck.That's when it was off to the walk in clinic where the doctor examined me poked and prodded my back, made me walk and did balance tests and bending tests didn't do the rolling from the toes to heels you mentioned or turning of the feet I have had flat feet all my life and have had trouble with my feet off and on for years. Thanks for the response Chessy.

well from what i know now . the reason the employer wants you back right away is every day your off they pay fines. your family doctor is he in a medical center??? if so you are entiled to see one of the doctors in the center, my doctor never goes any were for that long with out having some one look after people that need it. call the ontario health office they will give you a list of doctors that your doctor is with

As I said before I have 2 family doctors that work out of the one office and when one is off the other covers the other guys patients not sure what happened for both to be off at the same time which is why I had to go to the Walk in Clinic I figured it would be faster than the emerg at a hospital. Things are feeling a little better but still not proper I am trying to get to see a friends of mine chiropractor who fixed him up when all the other doctors gave him no chance to walk again without surgery so we'll see what comes of that for now its the rest and exercises the physiotherapist gave me and more massage and physio on Mon. when I have to call my employer to let them know what is going on.

 

Thanks Kawartha Kev

Wow, sounds like you are in a lot of pain both physically and potentially financially.

 

I've had lower back problems from the time I was 18 until now and I'm 58. Luckily I don't think I have any really serious damage. I can control my problems with exercise and proper posture.

 

What I want to suggest to you is that you buy yourself a back brace at a building supply place. They used to be really available, but I haven't seen a lot of them lately. The won't fix your problem, but they will allow you to function a lot better. For me they were a life saver. You could get out of bed, do your business in the bathroom, put your socks on, etc., etc.

 

Try it. You'll like it.
