I had this accident...

went to hospital not long after that happened and had nerve studies done, when I got the results back I was told that the nerves in my arm caused sauch damage that even surgery wouldnt be of any benefit to me, just cause me much discomfort, so they said I'd pretty much have to get used to the pain.
I took leave from work ( about 5 months or so) went back on the grounds that I could do light duties only, as time went on I felt like i was getting worse, the feeling in my hand wasnt gettin any better, made even worse by the light duties, people were moaning that i wasnt pulling my weight anymore, some even suggested i was faking it, i wished i was lol...
then i started getting all the symptoms of what i know now to be Fibromyalgia, and as ive said before, working 8-12 hour night shifts in absolute agony being on your feet all nite isnt right, so i was advised to leave on medical grounds, so i did...
I started to claim ESA only for the pain in my hand/arm, as my fibro as only recently manifested properly, Ive got this medical on tuesday afternoon and im just wondering, will they take into account the fact that ive now got fibro because of my accident, or will it just be about my arm/hand?
im petrified theyre gonna kick me off it and make me claim JSA, I had a well paid full time job that I had to leave because of how Ive become, so, fellow forumers, do you think it will be took into consideration? I ask that because the most recent doctors note i sent in was for my fibro, or will it not be took into account?
