well guys my first couple posts on here was about 401k then i started reading other posts and saw acouple disabilty questions... i made full time jan.3, 2008 i got hurt on the job feb 4, 2008 lifting abunch of heavy bags into a trailer on the floor.. my injury is in my shoulder and when i told my part time sup that night i had to call my manager and he told me to wait untill morning to see if it still hurts then i can go to the doc. well the next morning it was still hurting so they took me to med express which is a joke i think but they are with ups so thats where my manager told me to go.. they said i just had a sprain and put me on light duty.. i cant lift anything over 10 pounds or push or pull anything... well my manager said the only thing i can do is night shift washing dashes for 3 1/2 to 4 hours a night...after the 3rd time i went to med express they finally set me up for an MRI and the results were small amount of fluid is seen withn the ac joint and the acromion is positioned low relative to the distal clavicle, suspect for ac joint ligamentous injury and then some thickening and intermediate signal are seen at the most distal anterior supraspinatus tendon,consistent with tendinosis,partial thickness tear..
i work in west virginia and wells fargo is the insurance angency...since ive only been getting 18 to 20 hours a week im sending them my pay checks and they said the would go back and see what i was making then send me a check to make up for it... i make 17.29 an hour right now... well i only have 20 some odd days of light duty then they have to take me off work thats what my manager said..
well today i went to an orthepedic doctor that med express assaigned for me and they gave me a shot in my arm to help it heal faster. he said i probably wouldnt need surgery..his restrictions were no lifting over 10 pounds and no use of the right arm in motion above my head... the only other job my manager told me could do to get my 8 hours in would be to spa in the morning but i already kno i would be able to do that with my right arm so i guess ill be off work for awhile...
what will i be expecting my pay checks to be once im off work...since i can use my left arm i think they should work me in the office answering phones or something for 8 hours since im guarentted that...
sorry for the long post i was just wanting some guidance on what i should do...right now my shoulder is hurting pretty bad from the shot today im pretty sure it was some type of steriod... he wrote me an excuss from work today .. well thats all im going to write thanks
