[QUOTE="mrbrownstone, post: 2135678, member: 53460"] I have been to 1 of the best centers in the country for knee issues, The Rothman Institute and the doctor I saw works with some pro level sports teams. I won't say more than that because I don't want to give away my location. I'm not quite sure about filing an injury report because there wasn't one specific thing I did that made my knees start suddenly hurting. It wasn't like I fell in a driveway or off a the truck and bam my knees started hurting. I guess part of what I'm saying that doesn't seem to make sense to anyone is that I choose to move a little more slowly than how we are trained aka "walking at a brisk pace" all the time and as such choose to use this as my lunch because that's the best I can do. I rather walk a little slower or exit the truck more carefully than we are supposed too. I used to exit the package car carrying heavy packages to try to save a second. Now anything over 10lbs I put on the floor and slide off into my arms to take pressure off my knees. Therefore, I can't retrieve a package and be off the car in 18 seconds or less as we are trained. I UNDERSTAND the contract DOESN'T acknowledge numbers but for me "a fair days work for a fair days pay" might be slower than the better drivers. I'm all about giving my best but unfortunately it is at a slightly slower speed than other people. I don't need help all the time and I would like to keep it that way. I'M ASHAMED of myself when I need help and apologize to whoever is helping me for having to help me because I feel bad. I'm sure I will be a hit if I start taking lunch only to need help all the time. [/QUOTE]
