Answers:

If you have arthritus and disc disease, that may be why he just referred you to your personal doctor. In some states, if a pre-exsisting condition was the main part of the injury, the work comp claim would be denied. If the arthritus or disc disease was not the main part, let your employer know that you need more treatment. If they refuse, then call the division of work comp in your state and let them know what is going on. You may be entitled to an IME, which is an independent medical exam. Good luck!
