The most effective way to handle this is to return to the doctor that you were treating with or some other neuro specialist and get ask for an examination for the purposes of determining future medical treatment. You will want the doctor to provide you with a detailed report of their findings along with a monetary estimate of the costs involved as well as any surgery or medication costs or other issues that can arise. You then want to take this letter and provide it to the claims adjuster or lawyer for the employer's insurance company. If you have a lawyer, then you should ask him if he can get the insurance company to pay for an appointment to see a specialist to determine these issues so that they can settle the case and move on.
