worse?
Was up every few hours all night with muscle spasms and swinges in my leg and called off work. Also called the nurse from the work comp place and he told me to go to the clinic.
they xrayed my hip and found no damage, and told me I could go back to work - I said I was in too much pain. So that's another day without pay. Grrrr.
Then the nurse called back and asked why the PT had worked on my hip. I said "You sent me there - I assumed that they knew what they were doing". I asked about going to another clinic and he said I needed to talk to my adjuster about it. When I called he, she said that the PT said he never physically touched me during Monday's session. I told her that was a bald-faced lie, and asked for her e-mail so I could write up a report about what actually happened on Monday. Sent it off and CCd HR aout half an hour ago.
Someone from the work comp company will call to get me into someplace else for treatment.
So now I'm in pain, depressed, and ANGRY!
Hopefully today's pain is mostly overuse and will subside with rest. I'm too tired for any spasms to get a good start any time soon.
EDIT: I was so angry I probably wasn't clear.
On Monday, he sharply "readjusted" my hip.
Then I had pain.
He was authorized to treat me for knee pain, and now my hip hurts.
He may well have made things worse.
Now he's saying he never touched my hip
Basically, he's lying.

I read this and had immediate homicidal thoughts towards your PT. What? Was he trying to INDUCE sciatica?! O_o
This sort of thing was the reason I stopped going to my chiropractor. She was a nice lady...and meant well...but was convinced I was "too young" at 37 to have any disc issues so never suggested I get an MRI. She was "adjusting" my back...and it never felt better...I got my ROM back...but the pain was worse.
If he billed your insurance for "manual therapy" that day...he can only code it if he DID touch you. FYI. One is an outright lie...the other is insurance fraud.
