[QUOTE="35years, post: 2142996, member: 60822"] 7 months? If you are in the Union slooooow down! A back injury is nothing to fool around with. If you hurt your back again; It helps if you can point out a specific lift that really hurt. Immediately after that lift refuse to lift another box. Insist upon filling out an official first report of injury report. Go to the UPS doctor as required, but also your own doctor. Make sure the doctor understands it is the lifting at the job that caused the injury. If your doctor says you need time off make sure you have a 2nd appointment with him before you see the UPS doctor a second time... By seeing a doctor twice in a row before the other doctor you "choose" that doctor as your treating doctor. The UPS doctor has a conflict of interest in that he gets a great deal of income from UPS. If there is ever any disagreement on your ability to work, you want a doctor who has only your best interests in mind. UPS can still require you to see their doctor but choose your own doctor as your treating doctor. Your State workers comp department is a great resource. [/QUOTE]
