Legal Question in Workers Comp in Virginia

workmen's comp doctor not properly listed the incident as a work related injury

I went to the doctor in july for pain in my neck, back and shoulder. I was diagnosised with tortocollis, then referred to ortho and neuro and both say this is not the case. claim was denied and i went back tot he doctor at patient first and asked him to give a detailed medical narrative report for the incident. now what he said i had was defined as a injury, so what caused the injury? ther eis nothing in his notes that state what caused the injury. he claims i never told himt hat it happened at work. then he goes an put in my medical record that i came in an insisted that the attribute the injury to a incident that happened at work. i only asked for this documentation because a lawyer told me too after reviewing my denial letter. the lawyer stated that he response to me should be translated with certian words in which i put in a written request to the doctor. when i went there for a follow up he never examines me and put this lie in my medical record. how do i go aobut getting this removed and the specialist i went to see has it noted in their records that i was moving boxes at work. if he said i had a injury shouldn't the chart say what caused it. he failed to do it and misdiagnosised me as well. i'm stressed out!
