back breaker
For those of you that don’t know I threw my back out on Monday morning. As GWU staff we had Monday off for “Spring Break.” What do you know, I throw my back out before even getting out of the bed. Actually being truthful I got out of bed when Justin did to get him some breakfast and keep him company while he got ready for work. Then I went back to bed for a couple hours and when I went to get up my back went out. It’s been doing that off and on since last winter when I fell on ice at work. This time has been one of the longest times it has bothered me. I ended up not going to work yesterday and this morning I felt a little better but as the day has gone on I’ve been getting more and more stiff and the actual area in my lower back/hip has been hurting again. The rest of my back has been throbbing from how I’ve had to stand/sit/lay. Wish me luck! 3 hours to go!
Does anyone happen to have any expertise on Worker’s Comp? I went to the doctor on worker’s comp a year ago and wondered if this could still be considered since it’s from that injury.
The short version is that you should have reported that you slipped on the ice at the time. If you didn’t, it’s going to be difficult getting that claim through. You probably could have just told anyone, a coworker, etc., and that would sufice. If no one remembers, it might be difficult to get that through.
Message me sometime if you want some advice on worker’s comp. Also, I can give you some advice on getting your back better after what I’ve gone through with my ribs.
teehee
Have no advice on workman’s comp, just well wishes that you feel better soon.
