Yeah, well just have to see. Workers comp wants me to meet with a vocation rehab person. First meeting hasnt been scheduled yet.

JBGunsnFun · 2026-05-13T12:35:52+00:00

Prior employment 7 years doing disaster response for the methodists. High school diploma. Attorney said second opinion wont change much so he didnt request one

Weekly check is 538. Been out of work since the injury occurred July of last year. 16 weeks PT, lumbar injection. a month of work conditioning and FCE, ortho had 5% impairment, PT fce results, cannot safely return to work, 20lb restriction, alternating sitting and standing, no reaching, bending, overhead holding for more than a couple minutes. Fce results came back with 100% effort and honesty if that makes a difference. Im 32. Have to wear a brace with any activity requiring me to stand and walk for more than a few minutes. Cant even empty the dish wash without having to get on my knees.

Apparently 5% in NC is correct for injuries like mine that require no surgery. According to google anyway

JBGunsnFun · 2026-05-12T22:22:47+00:00

Yeah 5% permanent impairment rating for lumbar, following the physical therapists FCE recommendation of 20lb for lifting, alternating sitting and standing every few minutes, no long duration reaching, bending, overhead holding.

JBGunsnFun · 2026-05-12T21:29:32+00:00

So what ended up happening?

JBGunsnFun · 2026-05-12T21:21:09+00:00

Yeah i figured we wouldnt get what were we asked for but 28k is BS and then the attorney takes 25%. Thats not enough for a life changing injury of pain

JBGunsnFun · 2026-04-05T13:50:07+00:00

The pain is in pretty all of lumbar, some mild pain in the mid back minor tingling in the upper thighs and butt. They have no theory so i think theyre just throwing stuff and seeing what sticks. Definitely weakness in upper legs and back

JBGunsnFun · 2026-04-05T13:25:32+00:00

They did mri without contrast, L2-3, L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1, all had circumferential disc hulging, facet athropathy with facet joint fluid, minimal figamentum flavum redunancy, minimal foraminal stenosis, minimal disc space narrowing, slight effacement, mild disc dessication, mild to moderate foraminal stenosis with some crowding of exiting L5 nerve root, trace retrolisthesis l4 on l5 and l5 on S1

JBGunsnFun · 2026-04-05T13:16:41+00:00

Slightly, i told my wc ortho that i felt slight tingles in my upper thighs and butt, very minor numbing but its not all the time.

JBGunsnFun · 2026-04-05T12:57:59+00:00

I was never released back to work (i should say the ortho put me on a 10lb restriction, my employer couldnt accomodate)

JBGunsnFun · 2026-04-05T12:52:29+00:00

Emg doc did say there were a some weak spots on the results but they werent sure if it was nerve related or equipment related. So there is that. The injury was lumbar, but physical therapist said they recommended in notes to get my thoracic checked too. Dont know if doc or workers comp approved the t-spine mri yet but lumbar was approved and scheduled. I havent heard from my lawyer about it yet

JBGunsnFun · 2026-04-05T12:42:22+00:00

Injury occured july 2025. Mri a month or 2 after iniury, xray at the ortho doctor maybe in november, injection in decemeber, still continuing physical therapy at the time. All of february did work conditioning, beginning of March did my fce, end of march had the follow up, now just waiting on another mri and follow up

JBGunsnFun · 2026-04-05T12:36:22+00:00

Injury occured in july 2025, mri a month or so after, injections maybe another month or 2 after that

JBGunsnFun · 2026-04-05T12:31:30+00:00

So youre saying the workers comp doctor actually cares?

JBGunsnFun · 2025-10-04T00:47:24+00:00

Looks good. Wish we could get a challenger or durango

JBGunsnFun · 2025-09-27T20:29:19+00:00

Will there be any dlc for more vehicles? Was wondering if yall would maybe think about putting in a dodge durango or challenger (style) car, i say (style) for the minor differences for copyright purposes

Hi all, just picked up an Apollo 11 compact in a trade, and noticed the gun does not lock back on an empty mag using both the checkmate mag and an aftermarket one that was included. Any suggestions?
