I had an accident at my job last fall (november), fell out of he back of a semi trailer and screwed up my left hand..... The last doctor I went to said that I had injured the tendon that goes through the knuckel (sp?) to my midde finger,,, but thy never did an MRI,, only X-rays..... This went on for several months, and it stayed swelled,,,, finally the doctor injected something into it to make the sweling go down, which worked,,, but it still hurt like hell.... After he did that he stopped my therapy...
My hand has yet to stop hurting, the swelling has come back, and I have very little grip strength,,, I can only hold a 15lb dumbell with it.... My concern is that it was the job I left nearly 5 weeks ago, and on the 10th of last month I had a message on my machine from the doctor reminding me that I had a Doctors appointment for it that day (after I left the job), but like a dipshit, I never called him back,, It had gotten better, so I felt it was on its way back to getting better..... I kept going to the gym, but used the hand very little,, hardly at all,,, did mostly cardio and legs, so Im sure I didnt re-injure it..... Im concerned because Im going to start a new job next week (thursday) but I ne to return to the doctor for my hand.... If I start a nw job,, will that affect the workmens comp issue,,, Im thinking about speaking to a lawyer,, but didnt know if it would be pointless because I missed the last doctors APP... Any insight would be appreciated... THANKS
