Can someone explain how this works to me please? I sad to say, I really am clueless.
TJ's knee has really been bothering him the past month.Thanks to all his years wrestling, his body and joints are just shot. He finally went to an orthopedic dr last week. He gave him antiinflammatory meds and told him therapy 3 times a week for 3 weeks. We didnt even get a chance to set that up till today happened. He fell/jumped from a 5ft wall at work and hurt it more. Can't even put weight on it. They took him to a medexpress. Those people filled out all the workmens comp papers and told him he'll need an mri. But basically he's not allowed to return to work at the time. He's not allowed to do anything except sit at a desk. Which, is no where near what he does! They said a representative will be calling him in a few days. So I'm trying to just find out what to expect.... does workmens comp help him find a temp job thru all this? Do you get a percentage of your pay from workmens comp? Do they do anything at all? I just can't sit around for days not knowing anything at all.
anyone know anything to help me feel better? :-/
Re: workmens comp
And a year for a MRI to get approved?! thats ridiculous. I'm pissed he can't go today, let alone if he has to wait forever. I don't even know how he'll do the physical therapy if he can't even put weight on it though.
I'm frustrated and nervous. :-(
Just be diligent! Sometimes if it is an emergency situation they go ahead and do it and ask questions later! These are just cases I've seen! Hopefully he can get it done ASAP!! and therapy is all dependent if the dr says he needs it or not obviously if he's getting an MRI I doubt they will order therapy without it first--
And can you girls believe the balls his boss has? he was all nice to him when he picked him up from the medexpress to bring him back to the shop. TJ said his boss just called him yelling cause the workmens comp ppl called him. he was saying how he didnt know he had to babysit him. and how he shouldnt have been up if his knee was hurt even tho HE was the one that told him to do it.
I've been telling him forever to get out of this place. his boss is so cruel to them during work hours.
