[QUOTE="balland chain, post: 1187971, member: 43608"] That is a question I will be asking my attorney.. I did all that was asked of me. I never missed a doctors appt. or PT appt. Of course, they will do X-rays , that typically don't show anything but broken bones..My foot was so swollen for weeks, all the X-rays were inconclusive as was a bone scan.Not until the MRI was finally authorized when the surgeon demanded it, were the injuries and my words validated..
