I placed this before, but didn't get any responses so I thought I'd try it again. A couple of months ago I noticed my torso shifted, my belly button moved to right and my chest is uneven. I had a lami a year and half ago and don't know if this has anything to do with it. I also found out I have congenital spinal stenosis. I also read another report that says I have severe spinal stenosis. I showed a dr. and he said he couldn't talk to me about it because I have a workcomp situation. He said off the record it looks like scoliosis. Has anyone had this body movement before? I also want to add my hip is starting to hurt as well. I don't know if it's from the torso moving or what. Thanks
 
Hi Michael, and welcome back!

I remeraber you from a while back. You posted on http://www.healtrabroadoarRAB.com/boarRAB/showthread.php?t=594270

about this problem. Did you ever get an MRI or CT scan? If you have a scoliosis going on, I wouldn't be surprised if you had some hip pain. Do you have an appt with your WC doc anytime soon? Will he look into this for you?

I"m sorry you still don't have answers. I'm sure it's very frustrating! Don't give up! Keep pressing whoever's in charge of your care for the WC case to get the appropriate tests for you.

Let us know how it goes.

Hey there, I still haven't been able to see a dr. Still waiting to get a disability rating from wc. It's been about a year since I've seen a wc dr. I've been having to go to er for my meRAB because no dr. will see because of my case being wc related. I also don't get how I'm going to get a disability rating from a report that is a year and half old. My health has gotten worse since that report. My torso has shifted, the pain runs down my leg and into my foot now, my hip hurts as well. They tell me it's taking so long because my case in under the old laws and there's only one person who looks at these cases. Thanks
 
That's just terrible that you have to go to the ER for your meRAB! The WC doc won't see you? Won't give you meRAB? That's absolutely shameful! I hope you can get through this mess soon and get the help and care you need.

That's the problem, they took my wc doctors away. I had a regular dr. and a pain manangement dr. I said to myself I'm going to get my meRAB somehow. The doctors at the er had no answers either. So I tell them "see you next month" and off I go. This is the only way I can get the meRAB. I'm surprised they haven't said anything to me yet. These visits to the er got to be expensive. Does anyone know what I can do about this? I think the insurance carrier should be fined for this! Thank you
