May '06 my son had work accident and wrecked his shoulder-was told it was soft tissue damage and RSI in his wrist. 6 months later was referred to shoulder specialist then MRI showed AC joint, rotator cuff, and tendon damaged, bone chipped etc. Oct '06 Worker's Comp insurance insisted on 2nd opinion medical which coincided with MRI result so doc agreed 110% with 1st specialist. On way back to work from appointment, 4-car pile-up with my son in middle and hurt his back L5/S1, left wrist and left ankle. Back and shoulder muscles went into spasm so physio was needed for 5 months before shoulder surgery. Feb '07 ultrasound x-ray of left hip requested, radiologist reported on right hip and local GP ignored my son bringing that to his attention!! 3 years on a legal battle looming with car insurance because they say he was in wrong place at wrong time so must accept 50% blame. Early July '2010 return to work programme 3hours 3days a week proved that my son could not sit down for more than 5mins at a time. 18th Aug bone scan on back and left hip results not in but comment that MRI will be interesting!! Keep away from doctors he was told. MRI done yesterday and results due Wednesday!!! Over 4 years of life on hold and thus far 41% disabled, my son has suffered greatly - goodness knows when it will end - lucky I had room for him to live with me but he was about to buy his own home in April '06 but not allowed mortgage on meagre workers' comp payments. Our system is better than the US, but still not good enough and some doctors do not listen to patients so misdiagnose too often!!!
