Going to see my physician regarding this.Do not have nor think I will have full use of my right arm or more than likely I will never be able to return to my previous job. Also because of the continued use of my left arm I am now aggravating a pre-exisitng workmens comp condition( which happened at this employer)condition was a bulging disc in my neck.This new job which they described as sedentary has only caused my buldging disc to act up again. Can I possible be a canidate for w/c permenantdisability?
