I am going through workers comp. An insurance lady for my company is supposed to be calling me soon.

I have to go to a doctor in their network. I was advised by my shop steward (union) how to proceed.

I am in the chair with the heating pad and I just had a shot of painkiller in the butt 2 hrs ago so until that wears off I am kind of ok here

But ouch!!!! It still hurts alot.

Re: I am out of work-back injury

Back pain is no joke, it immobilizes you so. I went thru it 2 yrs ago and it just makes you appreciate your body so much more. When you are better you should try yoga and pilates. Strong abs also make for a strong back. Did you lift with your knees bent, a lot of back injuries like yours are caused b/c of improper lifting. Now I am mad at you, why did you lift even after you realized that it was heavy? I call the movers in a minute. Feel better tho' No one likes to be ill.
