Hi everyone,
My attorney wants me to try mediation with my worker's compensation claim before going to hearing. I have no idea what kind of settlement would be enough to cover having RSD. Can anyone help? Do you know how much say a nerve block costs? or HBot treatments? or anything on how much rsd has cost to treat over the years? ANY suggestions, amounts you could give me would be helpful. Has anyone gone through a worker's comp settlement and had regrets? or advice for someone about to attempt it? Any Input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Gentle hugs to all Mountainmom Posted on 08/14/09, 12:08 am |

WOW I had no idea how you would reach some sort of number that would equal the pain RSD causes. As for the costs weren't you telling me that the HBot was around 120 dollars a treatment?? How many of those have you had?? WOw sweetie I really don't know. Hope you can find some help reaching a desision.

Hello. I have not had any dealings with worker's comp.(my accident occured at home.)so I could not offer you any advice on that . I can however tell you that my spinal blocks cost $360 a shot. The block usually lasts about a month for me,but not everyone has good results with this method of pain control. Some people have to have several blocks a month to get any relief. When you do hbot therapy the shots don't last as long in your system because the hbot detoxs your body. The cost of a hbot session is around $125. The protocol for rsd is usually 30 to 40 sessions-1 a day for five days straight with weekends to rest. So if you have 40 sessions you are looking at around $5,000. I have had 53 sessions total and it is working well for me.. I did 40 sessions then took a 30 day break. Sometimes you will need additional treatments to further the healing process that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has on rsd. I have only had rsd for around 9 months now and have already spent thousands of dollars to fight this fierce monster called rsd. I wish I could give you some magic numbers/figures,but I can't. I hope that what little information I have given you could be of some help. Good luck with your settlement/hearing.
