Has anyone developed PF as a result of your job and received an impairment rating? My problem started at work because my job consisted a lot of short distance walking, turning, stooping, pivoting putting alot of stress on my foot. I've had 5 Drs. say it is WC but not able to get an impairment rating plus the WC Dr. finally said I'd reached Maximum Medical Improvement but yet I continue to have trouble.
As fellow PF sufferers you may understand the stress of being told we can't do anything for you (except shoes and orthopedic inserts, which do help) and just let you go.
My job is in a factory and they have been really good with me but being on permanant restrictions on the length of time I can stand I have been doing temporary type jobs that I am allowed to sit. I have no on the job training with computers and/or experience therefore I am unable to get in the office as I have tried because I'm not qualified. My idea is to go to a local technical school but there are a lot of things to workout. Any suggestions and information concerning the Worker's Comp will be appreciated.
