A Mississippi Maritime Injury That Just Won’t Heal

If you suffered a Mississippi maritime injury weeks or months ago - a broken arm, perhaps, or a burn from a furnace explosion or a chemical inhalation - you may be feeling frustrated with the slowness of your recovery. Perhaps the physician who first examined you said that you'd be "back in ship-shape" within three months. Now, it's been six months, and you are still not fully recovered - and perhaps you feel worse than you felt even a month and a half ago.

How do you deal with a Mississippi offshore injury that "just won't heal"?

The human body is incredibly complicated. Every person responds to traumatic events - such as acute exposures to toxic chemicals and blunt force trauma - in very different ways. Although modern medicine can treat many conditions, recovery "surprises" are actually far more common than most victims realize. In other words, if it's taken you six months to recover from a trauma that typically only takes the average person three months to heal from, you just may be a naturally slow healer. Or a variety of other problems might be slowing you down or halting or even reversing your progress. These might include:

 

• Incomplete or wrong diagnosis;
• Side effects of medications you are taking or side effects of rehabilitation;
• "Pushing yourself too hard" to go back to work or resume normal daily activities;
• Poor diet or exercise habits hampering your progress or stalling it completely; 
• Another injury or secondary consequence of your first injury hampering progress or depressing your immune system.
