Why would my workers comp dr keep me working when I am in severe pain and very weak and numb?
Have 3 herniated disc, spinal stenosis, ddd, severe headaches, pain back of neck, down arms and no strength in arms, numbness, weakness. Dr just keeps sending me for epidurals, and now pt, wont give anything for pain. Live in Tn
He is a spine dr and he did cervical fusion 4 yrs ago and treated me much different but it was not workers comp then. I get nervous to go to my appt.
Sounds like you need to contact an attorney. They will take on a workers comp case with no up front fee. Go through your local Bar Association to get a referral that way you don’t get an ambulance chaser. They eill let you know your rights and usually ahve alternative doctors you can see. The one now works for your company and does not have you in mind!

Disc Decompression for herniated discs, how efective is it? ?
I have 3 herniated discs, L3, L4 and L5 and have quite a bit of pain. Last year I had a steroid epidural shot and it gave me good results for about a year. I hate needles and don’t want to go through that again, and somebody mentioned the disc decompression and mentioned a chiropractic clinic called Mass.Ave…Can anybody give me any feedback/insight regarding this type of treatment, since I have not had positive experiences before with chiropractors, making me spend time and money, unfortunately with no results (no offense to any Chiropractors out there please, this was just my personal experience!)
Thanks!
Before you consider surgery for disc decompression, do have a look at this site.

It might be an alternative to spine surgery…It is something to think about so do make some honest search for ‘bioflex low-level laser therapy’.
I also need decompression on my L4 & L5 but before I consider having surgery on my lower back, I am seriously considering going through low-level laser. It is absolutely painless, non-toxic and non-invasive.
I also have a slipped disc on my lower back…If they can releive the pressure around my L4 & L5 with low-level laser, I will be with a lot less pain, that I am convince.
Don’t just take my word for it, make a search.
Be healthy.

hi, would appreciate any feedback on this, i have a herniated l5 s1 disc, which i was told was causing the pain in my right hip.
Now i have been told i have arthritis in right hip, also have had diagnosis of bursitis also sticking si joint, no longer sure what i have.
If someone can tell me what symptoms they are getting with similar problem would be happy to hear from you
The main symptoms i get is general back ache and when i stand up from sitting position or try to get in and out of car the pain is really bad, it feels like something is catching and needs to be freed..help needed please
Arthritis of the hip usually manifests as pain on the inside of the hip area near the groin and pain will travel down the inside of the leg. Many times it causes you to walk or stand abnormally which can cause pain in your lower back.
It is not unusual for a herniated disk in the lower back to cause hip pain. It is also not uncommon for this to lead to arthritis. When you feel pain in your hip many times it causes you to walk unnaturally. This causes improper pressure on the hip joint which can lead to arthritis and or bursitis.
