Copy Of C&p

[david walker]

I'm so ill. C&P doc stated my carpal tunnel was less than as not caused by my cervcial neck problems or the arthritis in my wrist (stating arthritis is minimal). In one part he states mild neuropathy and right under it states symptoms of rt elbow most likely due to tendonitis not ulnar neuropathy???????

I have never seen anyone try so hard to disprove the obivious!!!!!!

But he did put cervical radiculopathy of bilateral upper extremities is as least as likely as not. Also the cervical radiculopathy would result from cervical DDD whick already SC. Will they rate the radiculpathy or come back and say its already been rated under DDD???

I am so mad at those guys. Trying to sisprove already documented medical evidence :{ Gripes ME!!

David,

I believe you stated in your previous posting after your exam you mentioned that "the C&P doc seemed more interested in my neck than my arms". It is obvious he was focusing on the cervical radiculopathy. I had the same problem. I have a herniated disc C5-6 protruding to the right. Because of this my doctor insisted on doing a EMG only on my right arm. I have told him time and time again that I get the same pain and symptoms in both of my arms.

Did they give you a EMG? If not, maybe that's what you need to prove your case.

David, they should rate the radiculpathy according to the nerve group that is effected. This should be a separate rating from the DDD. I was increased to 20 percent for DJD/DDD and then added another 20 percent for Radiculpathy. (moderate incomplete paralysis of the median nerve ) minor.
