Missouri. My back was injured June 2002. They closed my case only because they said that there was no reason that I should be hurting as much as I said I was and there was nothing else that they could do to help me. I had been through all the therapy, shots, MRI's, etc. I have 3 herniated discs but the doctor said that a lot of people have herniated disc and nothing becomes of them. He also told me that most people don't have pain in theirs like I do. Well I immediately hired a lawyer to handle my case. Again, that was 2 years ago and I still haven't heard a word from WC as to when I am going to be put on the docket for my case to be heard. Does anyone have an idea of how long a back case goes on before they settle? Also, I am still having a lot of trouble with my back and even paid with my own money to have nerve blocks put into my back. I know that I take a chance of WC not paying for it, but I had to do something because no doctor would see me since it was a WC injury.
