I was injuried at work in Jan.2008 I herinated two disks in my back. I had surgery in Mar.2008. the pain never went away. I keep going back to the doctors. in April 2009 they gave me another mri it showed the same two disks re-herinated. I have had a lawyer since june of 2008. We haven't been to court yet. He keeps telling me that a settlement will come. We are approaching two years that I have been out of work. The last time I saw the doctor he stated that I will probably have pain the rest of my life. The workmens comp insurance company won't let me get the second surgery I need, also I have about $7,000 in doctor bills not paid yet. I have been a Chef for 23 years, but I don't think I can return to that job. Can't stand on my feet for hours and hours. I need advice asap.
