Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain After An Accident With A History Of Seizures

Hi, I am dealing with a medical history which involved seizures of epilepsy. As of now beginning in November of 1992, I am seizure-free. However, I also experience somewhat of an impedemint, which gets in the way of employment. Currently my knees are bad because of an accident at work, and the insurance company is doing everything they can to bar me from being helped for anything, what should I do?

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As mentioned you had a past history of seizures anf you just had a accident I feel there is no connection with the both. As seizures are being a long past issue you faced. But the current issue you are facing of knee pain is because of an accident.

So now if the insurance company is troubling then take a note from a neurologist stating the injury of knee is not related to the episode of seizures and also from an Orthopedic too. By which you are totally legal to proceed claim for which insurance company should not have any problems.
