The opinion of the authorized treating physician carries great weight with the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission. However, you may have a problem that is beyond the expertise of this particular doctor. It might be appropriate for you to see another doctor but this has to be carefully coordinated or you will end up having to pay for the second doctor. You probably need to consult an attorney as soon as possible as the insurance company will try to cut off your benefits.

I agree with Mr. Sweeny. You need a 2nd opinion, but you need to have it coordinated so that you are not paying for it.
