Hi
I havent posted for quite some time.I need advice badly.Here is the problem.I recently had a functioning capacity evaluation,orders from wc.When I went to have it done the pt refused to let my son come back with me. I wanted him for my witness not that I told the pt that.I have rsd left wrist,moved up arm,very much in pain,lots of burning.Lost partial use of left arm.Atrophy of hand.I did best I could and about an hour and 45 min later when the pain was so bad I was getting confused and very very tired he eventually started losing his temper with me and began getting very hateful and very rude and yelling.I started crying.Im almost 60 and I was hurting so bad and trying so hard to do what he asked.That was where we quit.I still havent gotten over the nightmare of that test and his unprofessional behaviour.Im sure if I was some young sweet thing he wouldnt have been so mean.
If that wasnt bad enough I just got the copy of this test and I couldnt believe what I read.It was so bad I got so upset I couldnt even read it all I waited till the next day.It turned out he twisted words around,told all kinds of lies,said stuff I never even said,wrote what I said but not the whole thing,only things wc would like to hear.Said I was mad a lot during the test and lost my temper.My gosh,I was in so much pain and so worn out I wouldnt have the energy to get mad or lose my temper.Hes the one who lost his temper.He had me crying.He said I have full range of motion,thats a big lie,he said I faked everything,nothing wrong with me,thats a lie,he said I am capable of working and using that arm,my gosh,I can barely use it for very long,he said my atrophy is from the fact althought I have nothing wrong I guard it when I use it.Of course I do the pain is unbearable.He said I am capable of doing any job except one with crawling or climbing a ladder. Can you believe this.Now you have to know he also teaches seminars to businesses and companies about wc.I just could not believe what I read.
And if thats not bad enough there was a letter enclosed my case is set for settlement hearing before arbitrator in a couple weeks. I cannot see drs,wc refused my referal and lawyer didnt try to fight it,they cut off my medical.Now I have this ridiculous fce full of lies and my lawyer wants to settle?I dont even know what is going on with my case. Ive put in applications for jobs but no one will hire me with a crippled arm .Iwouldnt last long with all the pain im in and i am so tired all the time and so worn out from hurting i can barely function.i just dont know what on earth to do.
any advice.i am desperate.
thanks
