Common Questions and Answers about Finger amputation insurance settlement

finger

Avatar n tn Several years ago I was indirectly struck by lightning on my finger. Ever since I have had severe nerve pain. Cold is simply unbearable let alone if I hit my finger on anything. I have been to several doctors and NO one can help me. I have even attempted accupuncture to no avail. I am currenty taking Lyrica, which helps a little, but not much. I have tried topicals as well. I am to the point where I just want my finger amputated. The pain is just too much!! Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn I was rear ended while I was at a stop light. The other parties insurance company gave me a claim number. I have been going to physical therapy for 4 months. I had a MRI which said I have a bulging disc at L5. I have seen an orthorpedic surgeon, and have had three epidural shots for back pain. I recently was sent to a rehab doctor and a emg was performed. I have not gotten the resutls back. Man that emg was very painfull. I also had accupunture needles.

Avatar n tn So here's the basic situation. I'm self employed and had to really go nuts to get health insurance. I did find it, which is good. I'm a pretty healthy 33 y/o (went to the gym at 7am this morning, that sort of thing). I rarely need to see a doctor. So, early this year I went to a GI type doctor to get something checked out. He did the anal scope, the shallower one which I can't recall. that turned up a couple polyps. So, we decided to do a colonoscopy.

572547 tn?1218924130 First, I understand your frustration. Before I found out what my first trigger finger was, I was fully prepared to request amputation because it was making my entire hand useless. I've had 3 surgeries over the past 2 years, freeing 4 fingers and removing a ganglion cyst from one. Did your surgeon send you to physical therapy? You need to keep moving your hands and fingers, despite the pain. Scar tissue (adhesions) starts to form a couple of months out from the surgery.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend is will die if we can't find medical help for him soon. He needs help and we don't know what to do. He is a severe diabetic, (4 shots a day), has heart disease, neuropathy, and according to the last time his meds were updated, which was over 5 years ago, he is supposed to take 14 different prescriptions, but his medical only allows 6 per month, Tell me that makes sense! I need help! So help me God I don't know what to do.

163305 tn?1333668571 BP is urging a federal judge to give final approval to a proposed settlement with residents damaged by the 2010 oil spill, who have barely a week to decide whether to opt out of the deal. In a document filed Monday night with U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier of New Orleans, BP rebutted objections by various parties in recent weeks and said the size of the settlement and the small number of opt-outs - under 1,000 so far - prove the deal is fair. Prospective claimants have until Nov.
Avatar m tn Fell at work, diagnosed with a completly torn ligament, scapho-lunate disassociation and possible slac wrist. That happened in November 2011. No insurance, work comp covering. Seeing very reputable specialist, but he really acts as though he's not interested in my problem. Had me do 3 months therapy?? for torn ligament?? To date (10 months now), wrist still slightly swollen and painful, nothing else done to repair injury. Complaints to work comp ineffective.
Avatar f tn Any money I got after the settlement paid doctors and medical insurance costs was still so small that only a pitiful lemon car could actually be bought with the money. One doesn't usually get even the amount that the vehicle that was lost was actually worth.

Avatar f tn we went before settlement review board after waiting a year for this meeting only to find out the insurance company wants to go to trial. by then I'll be beyond repair. went to the Med which is for people w/out insurance only to find out the same surgeon was on call there at that facility and he interrupted my care. essentially bullied the regular staff into doing nothing.

280418 tn?1306325910 How is your husbands' finger? I also had a glomus tumor on my left ring finger just under the nail bed. I had it removed by surgery and it has now grown back. I was told that this tumor is very had to get completely since it is made up of a bundle of nerves and that there was a possibility that is could grow back. It is now more painful than ever. I bumped it just this weekend on a drawer handle and almost lost it.
Avatar n tn Hello! I hope you get a reply for I am going through the same thing with my 70+ yr old Dad!

He has dry gangrene that hasn't changed at all! Hospice is involved now....the Hospice nurse hasn't given you any idea? I am told that sepsis is a possibility....

Avatar n tn I would say it would be a good idea to check it out, you may need a tetanus shot and it sounds like it is infected, put some OTC anti biotic cream on a band aid on it till you can get it checked out, Good Luck
