Finding An Attorney In New York For Herniated Disc And Spinal Cord Injuries
I may need surgery or injections if pain increases after undergoing the physical therapy.
I have three bulging discs in my lumbar and have gone through spinal decompression therapy and multiple sessions of physical therapy, but nothing has yet relieved it. Has anyone found something that has stopped the pain and been able to return to a normal life? thanks
PS I’m 25
I was hit by an automobile while driving west on I-10 in Houston TX on June 6,2007. I hired a lawyer. I am not at fault and was injured. I’ve 32 physical therapy visits, received a 5% inpairment rating. My lawyer has informed me that she recieved all of my med bills the last week of October.
Is my lawyer dragging her feet? Istill have extensive pain in my neck which resulted from the accident
I did physical therapy for 3 weeks on the area that has been hurting and started having severe headaches. These headaches have not stopped even though she took me off of physical therapy
I recently got into a car accident and am going to physical therapy. The therapist said my vertebrae are quite a bit looser than they should be and go in too far when I lean back. Is there a term for this?
I have had the three epidural injections, and now I will be sent to a surgeon to explore other options. I have also had physical therapy for the past 8 months, but nothing seems to ease the pain in my lower back. From an MRI, I was told I have a bulging disc. I am really tired of living on pain management medicine.
When I was one, I had rhumatoid arthritis, a few years ago (when I was 16) I found out that I had bulging discs in my spine. The pain was intense! I got epidural steriod injections for a long time and I was on physical therapy for about 3 months at no cost to me becuase I was still a child, but when I turned 18 my Partners for Healthy Children benefits ran out (South Carolina). The shots cost about 700 dollars a piece and I obviously can’t afford that. The pain is still intense every once in a while. Any programs out there that can help me in SC or anywhere else?
I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in my early 20s. I have had lower back pain on and off for years but last year it became severe and chronic. I am now 43. I have been on disabilty and on meds but nothing seems to help. Physical therapy seemed to make it worse. Yesterday I was told I have lumbar and thoracic spondylosis and bone spurs, and they have refered me for spinal injections. I’m wondering if anyone else has been thru this? Did it help at all? Will I ever be able to return to work or a normal lifestyle??? I try to stay active but I hurt so bad and often have numbness and weakness in my legs. I am so discouraged. If anyone knows anything about this please tell me what you know. Thanks.
I was involved in an accident on July 1, 2009. I was coming through an intersection (with a green light) and a vehicle coming in the opposite direction decided to pull out in front of me and make a left hand turn. I ended up hitting them. They were found at fault. I settled with my insurance company to cover the cost of my vehicle. Damages came to about , 500 and with that amount my car was totaled. My insurance company (Nationwide) gave me about ,500, the other drivers insurance company offered me almost a thousand less. I was still financing, so the entire ,500 paid for what I owed on my car. I then hired an attorney. I sustained a concussion (which I still encounter headaches from and it could continue for years), neck and back pain, lots of bruising, bumps and burns (from the air bags deploying), not to mention the emotional trauma I am STILL going through, I dove into a deep depression from it all. I have about ,000 in medical expenses (physical therapy, doctors visits etc.) My claim has just now been passed over to the insurance company! What should I expect? What should I base my settlement amount off of? How do you determine how much you should be awarded for pain and suffering? I lost my job from the accident (because I had no car). It’s been almost a year and I still have no car. Can’t afford to buy one without a job and can’t really get a job without a car (goes hand in hand). This wreck has put me through a lot. I hope and pray it’s my last. Any advice? Anything I should go by when the insurance company comes to my lawyer with an offer? Any advice or suggestions is much, much appreciated! Thank you!
Recently took an MRI and found that I have a slight disc bulge at L4-L5 in the lower back region. The injury was about 6 months ago. If I take physical therapy, will I be able to go back to squatting with heavy weights (like 200+).

Six months ago I tore a disc and hernaited another one in my lower spine. I’ve been doped up on pain killers and muscle relaxants since then and just recently received an epidural injection. My workmans comp only approved for two weeks of physical therapy, so now I have to work out own my own and hope that I don’t aggravate my injury. My question is how long before I can start going to the gym or the dojo and start training like I used to before this stupid injury? Are there any fighters or weight lifters out there thats gone thru this and can give me some tips?
II was in a car accident in Jan. The driver came over in to my lane hitting me and forcing me up over the curb. I was not in a lot of pain til later that night. The next day i woke up and couldnt move my head. I went to the hospital and they said my collar bone and it was bruised (huge lump comming out of it) and a Severe neck sprain. xrays were neg. They told me to consult my physician the next day. I got a referall for PT from my Doctor and started going the next week. I was in physical therapy for 12 wks. I am doing better, but I wake up with stiffness and tingling in my first 3 fingers every now and then. They said to expect this for a while because it may swell and press on the nerve for a while.
I want to settle this and be done, I have been paying 250$ PT pmts every wk for 12wks and missed work, events and have woke up in pain for 4 mos. Since I am feeling better I just want to move on. What kind of settlement should I expect or accept? I have no idea what is fair….
I am not out to make money, and I am not looking for a million bucks. I just want to know a range to expect so that I know if I am being treated fairly by them.
It has been a nightmare and I would like to just move on!
Also:
I have pics of the car damage, the injuries, the lump and bruising on my collar bone as well as the protruding lump I had on the curve of my neck.
Also, the driver admitted full responsibility for not seeing me in the lane next to him.
For example, I went through physical therapy due to injuries sustained from an auto accident. My health insurance company paid for the physical therapy. Once the claim is settled, will part of the amount of the settlement be used to reimburse my health insurance company for the physical therapy?
I was in an auto accident three months ago. I still have back and neck pain. I was originally sent to physical therapy which didn’t help. My doc. then sent me to a chiropractor who has helped a little, but just can’t seem to fix it. He took X-rays and found I have spondylosis (I guess I already had it but didn’t know. It was just aggravated by the accident) and scoliosis (which I knew I had). Both of these things are complicating my healing from the accident. The chiro doc is really trying hard, but says I’m a challenge. If he can’t fix it, and the physical therapist couldn’t, what can be done? I’m only 40, and was healthy and active before. Will the other insurance company (the person who hit me) cover future medical expenses if I can’t fix it and will need chiro or ortho care in the future? I’m afraid to sign anything until I’m all the way better, but don’t want this to drag on forever either. Any advice is really helpful, because I really don’t know what to do. Thanks!
