[QUOTE="Matthew, post: 706436, member: 28791"] Has anyone here had this on the job injury? Care to share the story, like how long you were out from it. I sprained mine on a slip and fall 1 step out of the truck super saturday '08. Of course the whole safety bs'ers were immediately talking about ' its better to stay on it and work then take time off ' and my manager was talking about ' it doesn't seem that bad, you can walk ' but anyway i went to my ER and was given the dont work for 2 days note then went to other doctor and he said dont work for 2 weeks, mind you the whole time my manager was annoying me talking about ' what! 1month for a ankle? thats alot ' which is bs but i was semi new still only having 2 & 1/2 years with UPS as a FT driver currently(as of right now) anyway long story short after 1 month i told the doctor put me back to work as i thought it was better but did not know they would immediately slam my trucks again like nothing ever happened. SO NOW, my ankle has been bothering me again by lunchtime and now my knee on the same leg is in pain also. i think i was trying to go easy on my ankle and my knee was doing too much work so now what should i do? I cannot survive on $500 a week only from comp if I go back out, and I do not think Light Duty is a good choice as I need to just stay off it as much as possible. PLEASE give good input/feedback/comments. Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
