What is the name of your state?Tn I had a work injury in 2002,was lifting something about 20 pounds when I turned I felt a sharp pain in the lower right back side of my neck.I call my boss and was told to go to the emergency room since the main office was closed at the time I was my injured.I went they gave me some pain killers and told me to speak with someone from the main office the next working day so I could see one of thier doctors.They sent me for exrays at one of the clinics and was told I had a cervical spinal strain.They had me use a neck brace and arm sling until I could see another doctor for evaluation.During this time I did work but was on limited duty/no lifting over 5 pounds/we have overhead work that they never restricted?After seeing thier doctor I was sent to PT and it worked but I noticed one of my hand was staying red and getting cold.So I showed it to my boss and she told me to call the main office because it could be something serious/so I did.They sent me back to this doctor and she said she did not know what else to do for me so suggested I see a orthopedic doctor/so I did.While I was seeing him he had EMG's done and MRI's,I started feeling a major problem with my skin to where I could not be touched so I called him and went to see him he said he did not know what was wrong so suggested a second opion.That all my test came back ok?I called the main office and told them that he saw me for a total of 5 minutes and gave me pain pills-I told them something is wrong!They got me a case manager-She sent me to a chiropractor that told her it looked like rsd/crps.He sent me to an orthopidic and he said the same thing so sent me for many more test and then to have another EMG done-the doctor that did the test was so mad because it showed my ratings all were under a 46 he said nothing under a 50 is good?So then I am sent to PT again and to a pain managment doctor.This whole time I have complained about my muscles being thight and sore and spots to where if you push on them it hurts bad,they started in my arm and are now in both arms and in my thighs and under one knee.I was diganosed with rsd/crps and a cervical spinal strain.After w/c case was settled I was looking through the doctors reports and found that the first doctor that I saw thought it was rsd and myofasical pain.But told me she did not know what was wrong?This was never relayed to the next doctor that had the first set of EMG's done and said were good.After my case manager in these reports is says that the chiropractor also suggested myofasical pain.Nothing was ever said to me about this at all-just rsd/crps.My case manager still calls me after closing my case over a year ago to talk and see how I am doing and such.I asked her why no one ever told me of this myofascail pain before and she said because it was easier to diganose rsd and that the treatment for them are the same basically.I went to apply for SS since my restrictions from my pain doctor are so extreme.The first thing he asked me had anyone ever said anything to me about myofasicl pain before I said no because this was before I got all my reports after my settlement.Is there anything that can be done for them not diagnosing this myofasical?Sorry this was so long but it is 3 years worth.Should my attorney have said something to me about it since he was getting all the reports?Or is it just my loss because I did not know to get these reports in from the start?Thanks for any information-again sorry so long
