Dear Annoymous:
I understand you injured yourself at work and had surgery on April 29, 2016 to repair a tibia tendon. You still cannot use your foot and experience pain on daily basis. Your doctor is supposed to direct your medical treatment under VA Workers Law. You should be reporting these problems back to the doctor. If the doctor cannot solve the problem, you should think about requesting a new doctor. You should make sure you have an award for this injury at the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission. Call 1-877-664-2566 to check.
I have practiced Virginia Workers Compensationi law for over 35 years. For more information you can contact me at 1-804-358-4766 or visit my website at geraldlutkenhaus.com.
