I had to have emergency ACDF surgery C5-C6 from a car accident. i went to 15+ insurance examinations and every doctor told me that i was a big boy and it is ok if i lose a bit of strength. And that I was fine and they see nothing wrong. After my insurance company sent me to a specialist after 2 years said that the accident caused my injuries. I can confirm that this surgery is a hard thing to recover from.
I 100% agree. Acdf c5 and c6 and few months later decompression and lamenectomy of c5 and c6. I am still a mess. May you be blessed to heal. My thoughts and prayers are with you..as a fellow injured person.🇨🇦❤
This is so accurate I was involved in a MVA in 2018 went to ER with a similar discharge evaluation and 7 major spinal and internal surgeries including fusions both cervical and lumbar and knee injuries inc surgeries which still in 2022 continue having surgeries related to the MVA in 2018, again ER is like he said a brief life threatening evaluation nothing more, that’s why it’s so important to advocate for yourself when pain persists and not just settle with the insurance company and the ER discharge findings, straight away so they can stop having to pay you what your injuries are actually worth, typically a tactic all insurance company’s will use to dilute the actual severity and value of your injuries.

It is certainly important to be an advocate for yourself (or have a board certified lawyer that understands the issues of dealing with insurance companies and can be an advocate for you) and have a voice in your treatment needs.
