03S01-9512-CV-00138
Authoring Judge: Joe C. Loser, Jr., Special Judge
Trial Court Judge: Hon. Thomas J. Seeley, Jr.,
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. section 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting of findings of fact and conclusions of law. In this appeal, the employee or claimant, Woodward, contends the evidencepreponderates against the trial court's finding that her fibromyalgia was not causally related to her injury. The panel concludes the judgment should be affirmed. On July 23, 1992, the claimant was involved in a car wreck arising out of and in the course of her employment as a debit agent for the employer, American General. She suffered a mild strain of the neck, superimposed upon preexisting osteoarthritis. She was first seen by Dr. Sherrod, who made the diagnosis, then followed by Dr. Calvin Johnson at Wautauga Orthopedics. Dr. Johnson provided conservative care and assigned minimal permanent impairment. She was further treated by Dr. David Lurie, a rheumatologist, who diagnosed fibromyalgia but expressed no opinion as to whether her condition was causally related to the accident. The claimant was under Dr. Lurie's continuing care at the time of the trial. Her attorney referred her to Dr. Mark T. McQuain, a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Dr. McQuain's impression, as reflected in his notes, was: 1. Cervical degenerative disc disease,maximum at C4-5 and C5-6. 2. Generalized fibromyalgia/tension myalgia, post traumatic. 3. Patellofemoral degenerative joint disease, bilaterally. 4. Tendency for pain magnification. 2
