It is going to be another month of waiting before I get back to see Dr. Murphy. The worker's compensation system in Massachusetts sucks. I'm kept in pain for more than one year and two months after my initial injury before I'm able to have another consultation. How long will it take to fight worker's compensation insurer CNA and Hartford Insurance after the recommendations of the Doctor. My guess at least 3 months before they will approve anything if they do at all. I'm sure that my attorney and I will have to ask the Administrative Judge from the Department of Industrial Accidents to make a ruling to get me the required medical treatment.
Meanwhile, I'll still be in pain and unable to enjoy life. There really is not a lot you can do when you have a bad disc in your back. I'm thankful that Dr. Barna prescribed me the Tramadol because it does allow me to deal with the pain.
Well because the people who write the worker's compensation laws do not have to go through the process I'm sure nothing will change.
