[QUOTE="scratch, post: 312014, member: 1674"] Talk about old threads being brought back to life! browned out, I know where you are coming from. My first two hernias happened at work, but I made the big mistake of not filing an Injury Report that day. I was young and stupid back then, I thought I was invincible. I thought it was just a strained muscle that would work itself out. A week later, that bulge showed up in my groin area where my intestine was pushing itself out of the torn muscle wall. Both times UPS refused to pay for it, saying I couldn't prove I did it on the job, even though I was handling a thousand packages a day on that route. So 6-8 weeks with no pay, except for a vacation week my center manager generously moved on the vacation schedule. The first two were about twenty years ago. I had my third one two years ago. My side started hurting when I moved a box, so I immediately called the office and filed an Injury Report that night. I had no problem with this one, Liberty Mutual took care of everything, no questions asked. The ninety bucks a day Workman's Comp in my state is a joke though. [/QUOTE]
