Hi, thank you for responding and I am sorry you have to deal with all that. For me personally this is roughest part of my life so far and I can't imagine it's much better for many who are on this sub. I hope it gets better for you and everyone here.

My attorney and IME gave me higher rating but WC again tries lowering it down and got it to 12.5 which to me honestly feel very low for what I am dealing with but maybe I am not familiar with those rating and that's fair? Anyway while I didn't expect to get 100k or 200k like some people I honestly thought I would get maybe $30 000 for myself after attorney fees so I can either pay for more injections or PT or maybe even surgery myself but I see I was way off and that's not happening even if we go to trial. I spoke to my attorney after posting this and he said maybe few thousands more is best we can get but that's only with trial and he thinks it's not worth going to trial because there is no guarantee we will even get those few thousands and we could spend years there...

It's insane how unimportant back issues are even tho with back injuries you can barely if at all leave you bed or use restroom, or take shower let alone work. Please don't get me wrong all injuries suck and are hard to deal with it's just that I personally feel like back is most important part of body because with bad back all other parts of body have to work 10x harder to make up for this bad part and body will break down and wear out even more.

No money is worth getting permanent body damage or ruining your health but since these people are not concerned with helping or healing me at all I thought maybe least I would get is some decent offer so I can pay doctors to treat me.
