They always tried not to pay you, but telling you you already
have it, but that is not true unless they can prove it. I
know because they tried the same with me, get a good lawyer, I
have a very good one in ca, long beach, I live in Los
Angeles. You need someone that can represent you and get the
fairest deal in treatment and in compensation. I was also 25
years old when I got injured, do not rush to surgery, ask for
more opinions, get your therapies, rely on God, everything
will be fine.
