I got my award letter today. They said that everything has stayed the same so they are leaving me at 20% for "low back strain". For those that missed it I have 4 herniated discs, 5 bulging discs and a bunch of other stuff according to my MRI. I can hardly do my job, I can barely live day to day. But the dang doctor I saw lied his butt off. Said no pain, no sciadia (sp?), and a bunch of other stuff, but I do have that stuff. So I am going to get a report from the neuroligist and a few other people and send down a NOD, but I am actually thinking about filing a CUE. My chiropractor is pretty POed when he reviewed all my medical records and said why didn't they treat you for the numbness in you butt and stuff. I said I don't know. There is also a note in my medical records suggesting an MRI, when I saw a Doctor at my local clinic, she said it is just a "Mechanical Back".
Any advice? I have to wait until after the Neuro appointments before I do anything. I am actually thinking about hiring an attorney.

I am pissed. (Sorry, but I am)
