Hi community member’s,
How does a physician treat a sciatic nerve? What can you do at home to help treat yourself? I’ll return for what I feel is the best answer. Thanks & have a good night. :0)
I’ve been told it’s a sciatic nerve by my physcian. The pain is lower almost to my bottom.
oops physician.
It’s my oldest son that has this problem & since YA! is always good place to start for the answers. Thanks for all your answers.

have 3 herniated discs, currently ride a HD Heritage softail with apehangers & find that it’s too painful to keep riding it much , ordered an HD Ultra Classic with backrest for me. I know it has better ride suspension, better seat to handle bar position, and have been wanting one for awhile to ride with wife more comfortably. Anyone out there have experience with this scenario?

I have a friend with a lower back injury. (L5-S1 disc hemorrhaged) She’s only 21 and has been working in a doctors office on a computer for the last 2 1/2 years. The desks at her work i noticed is non-ergonomic, she’s never had a back injury prior to this one, doesn’t lift heavy things, and she was thinking it might be job related because of her sitting position. Unfortunately her primary doctor works in the clinic she works for. When she went to see them about her injury he told her a hemorrhaged disc can happen over night and that she couldn’t claim it under L&I. An that she can continue working because she couldn’t do any further damage to it at work. Gave her some pain medication and told her go for surgery and some kind of epidural shots. I told her to go somewhere else for a consult and she’s trying to. So i was wondering if it is a possibility this could have happened from her desk set up? An has this happened to anyone else out there?

How will my auto insurance claim work out?




My boyfriend and I got into an accident, where he was at fault. Although he was the driver, the car’s mine and I’m insured under it. I’ve already filed an insurance claim and I’m getting an appraisal right now. The car had extreme damage to the front (hood crushed, bumper torn out, headlights busted, grille pushed in, radiator cracked, and antifreeze liquid leeking out). The car is a 2006 Toyota Avalon w/ 24,000 miles on it. Is it possible that it’s totaled?

It’s been days since the accident and we’re both suffering back and neck pain. If we go to a chiropractor, how will the insurance money be paid out? Also, how does the Personal Injury Protection coverage work? Is it the same as pain & suffering? Do you ever come up short with money for the bills? I’m real clueless as to how this ordeal will work out. Help!
Also, we both have Allstate. Is there any way to transfer this to his insurance policy since he was the driver?

I didn’t do anything to bulge his disk/disc, so is it likely another woman made it bulge?

I’m asking in M&D because we might get married IF he is not cheating. I doubt it though.
Would you PLEASE answer in a mature fashion as i will you when I answer your questions..

I want to find out the estimated cost for a two-level lumbar spinal fusion surgery (L4-5 & L5S1) including surgeon fees, hospital and anesthesia cost. This is for degenerative disease, with significant spinal stenosis. I live in Texas, but will accept the info from any part of the US. Please identify the source.

Auto insurance claim with minor injury?




My son was in a minor fender bender & the nationally known insurance company is blowing up my phone. I told them he is feeling some neck & back pain. No Dr. has seen him.

They want to know what Dr. he saw & where? They also asked if I was going to make a claim. I told them I was unsure & wouldn’t release any further info to them.

My son is not injured other than some soreness, but I don’t want to release anything to them until I’m sure he will not have any further complications.

What kind of letter should I send them? What about any compensation form this? I’m very confused & really just want him to be OK without any future issues.

Thanks

Norma Jones

I am in agony beyond belief. I cannot sleep. Seems that after nearly five years, my attorney did little to develop my PI case. Did not talk to the four witnesses, did not depose the defendants (owners of the art gallery).
Then, just 6 weeks before trial, he abruptly quit. Case worth 5,000 to 0,000.
5 years ago, at an art gallery a multi-paneled art object — 4 ft by 4 ft — broke from the wall & fell on me. Suffered soft-tissue neck injury. 4 witnesses. 5 doctors.
From the start, my Attorney said, We will have to go to trial. He suddenly quit just weeks before trial. Days before trial, Case so old judge would not grant me trial continuance. I settled for less than ,000. No choice. I plan to go to State Bar, then legal malpractice attorney. I was homeless, on welfare, this after working 6 years as software engineer. Lost everything I worked so hard for. Did get 100% Social Security disability. Needed compensation, though, to get back on feet.

I was in an auto accident and hired a lawyer to represent me. The insurance companies are (mine & the other motorist) are investgating in order to determine who is at fault… Meanwhile, I’m asking my attorney to see if the other motorist has full coverage, liability, etc… so I can have an idea as to how things are going to play themselves out in regards to my medical bills, and other compensation, etc… The attorney claims that he can’t get the details of the other motorist’s insurance policy to answer my questions. This doesn’t sound right to me. Shouldn’t he, not only be able to obtain their policy, but be working diligently, early on in the process, to obtain this information so he can guage the "possible" compensation that, not only myself, but the docter & himself (the lawyer) may receive? …my injury is a life altering injury and I need to know what options I have in regards to my medical & all other compensation I may be entitled to. I am not the type to blindly allow my lawyer to do as he chooses, while I remain in the dark as to the facts regarding my situation. Please enlighten me…

Is medical for the med bills the other party receives & bodily injury is for the settlement of the claim, pain & suffering and the settlement of permanent residuals? Thanks

I was seriously injured in an auto accident and have no personal ins. The dr.’s will not do 3rd. party billing & bill the auto ins. directly. They want me to pay for all care up front. The specialists want 0.00-0.00 just for a consultation. I am in constant severe pain & need to get med. care fast but no one will help & the dr.’s won’t let me make payments! Go figure. If anyone knows anything that can help or a good lawyer that can help please let me know.

I was injured quite badly last year in a motorcycle/auto accident and have just received a fairly large settlement from AAA Michigan. Does anyone know if this is considered taxable income, or is it taxable in a different way?

I’ll be paying H&R Block to do my taxes this year due to a few complications in my life, but can anyone give me a heads up on this area? I need to know if I can start paying the bills accrued due to my ‘downtime’ or should I reserve some for taxes…

Thanks in advance, Rick
All past, present, and future medical bills are covered by AAA directly, and lost wages were paid in full while I was off work. The settlement is for ‘pain and suffering’ and what I need it for is to have someone finish a house I started to build before the accident. I am unable to climb on the roof, etc. like before so can’t do it myself as planned. Also there was a considerable amount of interest paid on another house I borrowed against to fund the new building. Yes, I know that amount is deductable.
