Well, finally got my dictation back from Neurology about my back, now its off to the PEB in DC. I would like to share a few excerpts and see what you all think:
Neurologic Examination: Sensation - decreased pin and temperature sensation noted over the dorsum and plantar aspect of the left foot in a combined L5-S1 dermatomal distribution. There was some give way weakness present in the left toe extension, eversion and ankle dorsiflexion.
Reflexes: Absent left hamstring reflex. The left ankle reflex 1+, right ankle 2+.
it goes on to say that I cant do my job, and he does not forsee me getting any better, he even went so far to say "The Patient is not handicapped in that he is unable to perform his duties..."
Thoughts?
