Wow can’t thank you guys enough. Such an amazing breakdown of my question. Really appreciate it.

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]

I had a cervical spine surgery on c56,7 and a herniated disc and was rated 5%

[@fertilityqueen7880]

Sounds like you got cheated

[@thereal1505]

How many times do you get paid for your impairment rating weeks or monthes?

[@tobyschulte884]

My question is work injury. I had surgery on my sijoint. Then and then I found out I need to have surgery on my other sijoint. So I was rated at 20% to the whole body with my first surgery. Now am in 3 week in healing from my other sijoint surgery. So my question is will my percentage change to the whole body or will it stay the same. Is 20% fair amount?

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]

It will most likely increase but only the doctor can say for sure.

[@kimyadabrock9126]

I had 2 work injuries one for my right knee and my left wrist which I had surgery on . How does the rating goes for that?😊

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]
