Can anyone help?
I was in a car accident back in Dec 2008 and messed up my back, 6 herniated discs
My doctor first started my package back in Nov 2009. Due to many setbacks my package has not yet been submitted. I redid my Range of Motion test today, (the one I did in Dec expired) and these were my results word for word, can anyone interpret this for me?:
Cervical Spine:
Extension: 20 degrees, 20, 20--20 degrees average
Flexion: 25 degrees, 25, 25--25 degrees average
Right sidebend: 23 degrees, 27, 23--24.33 degrees average
Left sidebend: 18 degrees, 18, 18--18 degrees average
Right rotation: 37 degrees, 32, 35--34.67 degrees average
Left rotation: 20 degrees, 20, 18--19.33 degrees average
AROM of the cervical spine is limited by pain
Chin tuck w/ lower cervical extension: (+) for interscapular pain
Thoracolumbar spine
Extension: 15 degrees, 16, 15--15.33 degrees average
Flexion: 45 degrees, 45, 40--43.33 degrees average
Right sidebend: 18 degrees, 20, 20--19.33 degrees average
Left sidebend: 13 degrees, 13,13--13 degrees average
Right rotation: 22 degrees, 22, 22--22 degrees average
Left rotation: 20 degrees, 20, 20--20 degrees average
AROM of the Thoracolumbar spine is limited by pain
Any advice from anyone would certainly help. I have spoken with my patient advocate to get this package moving and hopefully will get things moving a lot faster than they have. Any advice on what else I can do to get this package submitted?
