Well I was in a no fault of my own accident as a passenger in a company vehicle in 2000, the other driver was found at fault.
I had the problems with my back due to the wreck.
I did a permanent partial settlement with workers comp in 2002.
Just recently though, My L5 Extruded and needed to come out, however this surgery had nothing to do with workers comp, I could file the claim again seeing that this surgery was a direct result of the wreck in 2000, I have yet to do that and can if I need to.
Its not full blown spinal fusion, rather, I have a ball like implant called a fernstrom ball, here is a link to my Doctors website.
There is a animation on that site, pretty wild....

It still have full range of motion and no loss of strength.
It was a pretty wild surgery, I feel awesome!
But I cant help but think DOT is gonna hammer me on it! :cry:
