[QUOTE="705red, post: 683562, member: 5229"] I am off work right now myself with a herniated disc, l4/l5. I hurt my back and stomach the first week of December and worked TAW through the 28th of December when I was told to go on comp by my manager. I used UPS's docs through this time because of conveniece to be able to go to therapy while working helping out during peak. The back got worse and now I am seeing a Back speacialist. I am in therapy 2 times a week and have been waiting on Liberty Mutual to approve an epidural. Its been well over a week and they still have not given me the go ahead. I dont understand! They have an MRI report showing that I have a herniated disc, the Doctor said that it could take up to 3 injections to feel relief and it takes 2 to 3 weeks between injections. By delaying the approval they are just paying me lomger to sit at home and put weight on. I cant do much of anything becase the back lets me know. I stretch out every muscle from my back down to my left foot and it helps for a little. But until this nerve relaxes im screwed, no running, lifting weights nothing. Hopefully by posting this here it will speed up the process, my center needs drivers, alot of sup working grievances are being filed almost daily. P.s it is nice not to file any grievances right now.
