What is the name of your state? NY
I was told that I had an ulnar nerver compression in my elbow and at the same time the pain was raidiating up my arm into my shoulder and while I was being treated for 2 years with shots of cortizone - my doctor then operated on my elbow and left the shoulder alone. I was back to work in 6 weeks but and a year later was determined to have a 20 percent ppd. The elbow is still not right but better .. 1 year later they addressed the shoulder which was giving me pain still and they did and MRI to show a rotator cuff tear and an impingement now I had surgery on that 6 weeks ago. However my question is NY comp says they are not going to pay me because my 20 schedule ppd was for both elbow abd shoulder.. How can they schedule a shoulder they never treated ??????????????
