No Boxster for a while for me

[Pdwight]

Yes it hurt plenty after the fall, putting a sock on the left foot was unbearable. At the Sports Medicine place I was seen by two Orthopedic Doc's...as I said they could not find the "Smoking Gun"

I was told to file this as Workman's Comp because it happened on the job, I really felt once I did this I was treated like a second rate person....if that made sense

I've come to search for and taken so much advice from this forum for my car I figured this is my chance to give a little back hahah!

Great advice and it is always cool to give back. IMHO, after beating my body to hell for over 60 years (& suffering the consequences) I know first hand the only way to know what's going on in there is through an MRI. Caught early, knee problems and knee surgeries are fairly straightforward with complete recovery in short order. I had my clutch knee repaired in 2013 (59 years old at the time).

That not only makes sense, that felling of being treated as a second rate person is real. Monday call the doc's office and ask that they do an MRI. They will need permission from your work comp adjuster. I would also call your work comp adjuster (either your employer will have their own or they will out source to a third party) and let them know you want to have an MRI.

If you have a union or employee association that you are a member of, call them for advise.

No one like police officers or lawyers... until they need one. You may need a lawyer that serializes in work comp cases to assist you with this. Their fees are often covered by your employers work comp insurance. If you don't get approved for the MRI in short order I would seek out help from a lawyer.

All of this sounds like overkill, but it's not. The injury you described will not, in all likelihood, cure itself without some type of procedure.

I believe that ttmedical (who is obviously a medical professional) will agree, if you can have your injury diagnosed correctly early and treated right, it will save you time and pain in the future. We have some great medical professionals and procedures in this country that our insurance companies and work comp will block to save money. Ugh.... I usually don't climb up on a soapbox... sorry.

Hang tough pal and keep us posted.
