MERRY CHRISTMAS To all !

I am looking forward to spending Christmas with my family,but this whole situation make me feel worthless.and depressed. Usually I am pretty optimistic,but this year had not been a high point for me.
Since April I have been in constant back pain of varying degrees ,I tried to work for several months,tried to keep mind over fact but it just kept increasing and in Sept I could no longer do that.
Pain affects the whole scope of your life,and Workmens Comp,insurance companies and employers are just out to try to make you feel like a fake and a fool.
THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM ABOUT!
So I got those

WORKERS COMP BLUES!

Letter In The Mail

Today I got a letter form Workers Comp board stating that I have a hearing January 12,they want to terminate my benefits,{So far they have only paid my medical bills.even though they sent me a letter from my employer saying I would be paid)
I still have so much pain,it seems impossible to believe there is an end to this because they are denying responsibility.
Yes I am overweight and old,and I am feeling much older since I fell and was injured AT WORK Pain makes you old,you can't do the things you want,and you have too much time to think about the emotional strain you are under.
But enough of this, I still have those WORKERS COMP BLUES.

Well another week has gone by,and I was unable to get the steroid injection because my bleeding time was prolonged a little. So I have to reschedule,but on the bright side.my cousin took me because of our car situation. My family has been wonderful,I would have been sunk if they had not been there for me. It is great to have a loving supportive family.
Of course the pain is not going away, even though I am cured per the IME MD,even though two other MDS say no.
So here I am again with those WORKERS COMP BLUES

I haven't been on for awhile. So much has happened. Now they are saying this is all degenerative disease. it doesn't matter that I fell or that I was not hurting before I fell. And I actually tried to work through this until the pain got so bad I could not tolerate it. Never mind that over the last thirty some years I have lifted hundreds of patients,pushed heavy carts,etc. I understand that that is my job,which by the way I love my job. I have always liked working in Health Care.
It is not the actual job that is my complaint,it is the treatment of skilled workers to make way for the new inexperienced workers.
So you can see why I have those WORKERS COMP BLUES

The WORKERS COMP BLUES still have me down. No Information no news. How many people are being screwed after being hurt at work?
I would love to go back to work,I would certainly like to get rid of this miserable back pain,and most of all I would like to get back to walking like I did before I got hurt.
Is it any wonder I have those WORKERS COMP BLUES?

Still have those WORKERS COMP BLUES! They have still not approved my claim. Why do these insurance companies have to abuse us so badly? We all work hard ,we deserve to be treated better.

Workers Comp Blues! Back Pain bad enough to keep me up and losing sleep. Why does it seem that the people who work hard all their lives are abandoned at the drop of a hat,causing those Workers Comp Blues.
I am ready to go back to work if I could function which means being able to walk and not being in so much pain I have to take pain meds, which it makes it hard to concentrate.
It makes me angry and disappointed because I am good at what I do. I have taught many techs to do Ct Scans. I have always been ready to share my knowledge,and I like what I do. I miss the people I work with and the interaction daily of patients and other co workers.
How many of you out there are suffering with those WORKERS COMP BLUES?
have you been treated fairly?

Back pain, Back pain! Is it a one Is it a ten? So hard to measure pain. It just hurts so damn bad I want to scream sometimes well actually most of the time. But I am not a screaming in pain person. Most of our family prefers suffering silently. Frustration, depression over not being at work. I have those workers comp blues,trying to survive when you are hurt at work.

I haven't posted for awhile,the pain has been constant. Still no word from workers comp. Bad enough to be in pain, but getting no money from workers comp when I got hurt at work is frustrating and depressing. What is a person to do? Boy do I have the Workers Comp Blues.

Friday,the end of the week. I can't even look forward to the weekedn because of this situation with Workers comp.
They still haven't given an answer. Two more md appts next week.

Another DAy! Still no word about results from workers comp. Still in pain and getting more worried about out come of this case. It just seems unfair to have worked all these years and get hurt and not be able to be helped by workers comp. It is depressing and frustrating. I got hurt through no fault of my own.

Why do workers have to suffer?

After working for over thirty five years,I was injured this year. I tried to hang in there and do what I felt was the "right"thing. Even though I was in a lot of pain,I continued to work. Unfortunately the pain increased and I had to be off work,and workers comp company is doing everything to keep from paying me.
I am a honest person and I am frustrated by the treatment and the fear of wondering Where do I go from here?
I am 55, and it is scary to contemplate that I may not be able to finish out my career until retirement doing the job I have done since I graduated from high school and completed training.
